An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

So cute and so worth it!
Size: 3 Little Kid, Color: Turquoise
AMAZING for my 7 year old daughter. She can tie shoes but I no longer have to wait on her to do so. It takes 2 seconds for her to put these on and she says that they are super comfortable. We have been to Silver dollar City multiple times and she never complains about her feet hurting! They are easily washed in the washer. They hold up great. I think they are very much worth the money! Fit normal.

Our everyday shoe!

Great shoes and good fit. Fits as expected. The sole has worn down a bit quicker than I had hoped but my kiddo wears them everyday. I would buy them again for sure!
