* Dress is sleeveless with an inset oval notched neckline panel which widens at the back to form a collar.

* Faux opening down the front of the dress with decorative self-fabric buttons

* Self-fabric bow just below the notched collar and princess seaming either side

* Skirt is very full with wonderful drape

* Back metal zipper, pinked seams, turnover hem (unstitched)

* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Eufy beats the other guys in everything
Size: L60 Hybrid-renewed
We thought our old Eufy died so I ordered this since I always wanted the self-emptying model and the roller hair cutter was a big bonus since we have a chocolate lab that sheds a small bunny's worth of hair every day. Easy to set up, get added to the app, and just works. I will have to order more bags for the cleaning station, but overall very happy with this purchase even though the old Eufy started to work again right after this arrived.

Eufy vacuum
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
The device works really well. The battery doesn’t last that long which is a bummer but the product does what it states. I hope I don’t have to replace the battery yearly. My floors are clean tho and I have a dog and cat and multiple surfaces, all of which it cleans well even with difficult door thresholds.

I’m happy with it
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed, Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
Works great. Edit: After a week that I wrote works great, it had the issue that when it starts cleaning it looses power and shuts off after it leave the dock. When it disengages from charging it’s dead basically so unfortunately I returned it. But I will buy it again I was happy with it.

Charging base makes awful high pitch noise.
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
It cleans fine but the charging base emits a terrible high pitch noise. I have to unplug it when nearby. Cats no longer want to sleep in the same room as the vacuum base. Update: A little over a year later and it appears the vacuum's onboard wifi module has passed the rainbow bridge to electric heaven. Can no longer connect the L50 to the app or local wifi. Tried resetting, reverting to older version of app, changing my wifi to 2ghz only. Trying setup in airplane mode. Nothing works.

It worked!
Set name: 10 Jumbo, Set name: 10 Jumbo
I bought this to fit a full size 4" memory foam mattress topper. I gotta say it took 3 of us. 1 to lay on the memory foam and 2 of us to get it shoved in and keep pulling the bag up. But it actually fit! My arm was dying using the hand pump so we used a vacuum. It worked better than the hand pump. Due to what I was storing it did not shrink very flat, but compared to the size of the memory foam it shrunk a lot and will definitely save space! The bags arrived today so I dont know how well it holds up long term but the bag was very sturdy yanking it up around the foam. Didn't tear or stretch. And it actually fit!
