* 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.

Best eye patch to remove puffiness
Color: Collagen
This is by far the best eyepatch I have ever used. I have puffiness under the eyes when I wear these and I take the patches off my skin is so smooth. There is no puffiness. I do wear them overnight so I would say I wear them for like six hours and I have amazing results. I am definitely buying these again five stars.

Fantastic patches
Color: Collagen
These Biodance collagen peptide eye patches are truly fantastic! I have been consistently impressed by how revitalized and radiant my skin looks after every use—it feels genuinely nourished, hydrated, and leaves me with a healthy, natural glow. The results were so immediate and noticeable that I felt compelled to share the love, so I ended up purchasing several more sets to give as thoughtful self-care gifts for both my sister and my sister-in-law. I cannot recommend these highly enough to anyone looking for an effective addition to their Korean skincare routine!

Nice First Use, Feels Refreshing and Soothing!
Color: Collagen, Color: Collagen
I just started using the BIODANCE Collagen Peptide Eye Patches a couple of days ago, so this is an early impressions review. The packaging looks nice and the jar is easy to open and store. The patches are well soaked in serum and feel very cooling and refreshing when applied under the eyes. They stick well and don’t slide around, which makes them easy to wear while doing other things. So far, I like how hydrating they feel on my skin. They give an instant refreshed look right after use, especially in the morning. I haven’t used them long enough yet to see long-term results on fine lines or wrinkles, but I’m excited to continue using them and see how my skin improves over time. Overall, first impressions are positive and I think they’re a nice addition to a self-care routine.

Good Results, Slightly Dry Texture
Color: Collagen
I recently tried the BIODANCE Collagen Peptide Eye Patches and they worked pretty well for my under-eye area. The patches are packed with collagen peptides and feel nice and cooling when you first apply them. After 20–30 minutes, my skin looked a bit plumper and more hydrated, and the fine lines around my eyes appeared softer. The only downside is that they can be a little dry compared to some other eye patches I’ve used. Overall though, I noticed a visible difference in brightness and smoothness after consistent use for a few days. They’re convenient, easy to use, and do deliver on the anti-wrinkle and hydrating claims to a decent degree. If you don’t mind them being on the drier side, I’d recommend giving them a try — especially for targeting smile lines and tired-looking eyes.
