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.

Cute and Comfortable
I have now purchased at least three packs of these Freetoes, so that says something; I love to wear flip flops and sandals but while walking some distance they can chafe and cause foot issues so I use the socks as a buffer, they are attractive and comfortable, especially in warmer months, and have solved the chafing issue. Highly recommend!

GOOD IDEA, BAD RESULTS
As u walk it slides up to your ankle since there's nothing to secure it between the toes, ends up looking like you have a ankle bracelet. Fabric is NOT soft and comfy. Ended up giving them all away to the my cousin that was traveling with me, she had forgotten her socks so she was desperate for anything. She had the same problem as I but because she is obese so the socks fit snug on her so took a bit longer to hike up to her ankle. Im medium built.. I purchased 2 sets so it was a waste of my hard earned money.

Do not buy these
Color: Nude, Size: Women 9-13
These are terrible. They are designed to walk in. The first day I tried them on I walked about 20 steps and they basically ripped right off my feet. I didn’t think much of it and just thought ok I won’t walk in them I’ll just wear them to bed. The second pair that came with the order I wore to bed that night and woke up with holes tore in them. Terrible product

These are form-fitting and durable. Wearing these keeps the skin moisturizer in place so it can be effective.
