A similar green hued Fortuny gown is a part of the permanent collection at The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (pictured). The description of that gown is so wonderful I thought I would share it with you here verbatim:

"Mariano Fortuny created a number of variations of his pleated silk gowns. In this model, he combined elements of the classical chiton and the peplos. A "tunic" is attached along its neckline to a long sleeveless underdress, suggesting the apoptygma of the classical peplos. This effect is further emphasized by the handkerchief points at either hip, which would have been seen on the sides of an authentic apoptygma. In the ancient Grecian peplos, the arm openings were positioned along the neckline edge rather than the sideseam edges. This resulted in a dipping hemline at either side of the garment when worn. Fortuny took this structural attribute and achieved the similar, purely decorative effect by cutting away at the tunic's front and back hem. Further, he interpreted the buttoned or pinned closings characteristic of a chiton's shoulder seams by connecting the topline seam of the tunic's sleeves with Venetian glass beads interlaced with silk "rat tail" cording. Fortuny was noted for his antiquarian intentions and scholarly treatment of classical dress, yet in the end, he invented rather than replicated a Hellenic style."

This peach version is a very fine Fortuny Peplos gown, circa 1907-1920. Hand dyed to an Apricot, the pleated silk has a corded silk drawstring at the neck, short kimono style sleeves and an attached tunic with pointed side panels all of which are weighted with clear, Venetian white striped beads. The gown is in very good condition. The silk is strong and wearable with no splits in the pleats. The pleats are intact throughout, with just the slightest of softening in the arm areas - please super size the photos to view. There is a slighte fading of the color in the upper arm area as well. Even the one from the MET seems to have the same softening of the pleats and color through the arm area and I believe this occurs partly from age and partly as a result of the pleats being moved more in this area when worn. All the beads are present. The color, style of sleeve and type of beads used place this in the very early years of Fortuny's career. There is no label present (this was not uncommon in the earlier pieces) but I have had it verified by the senior curator at the Royal Ontario Museum and guarantee it to be a Fortuny.

It is 56" long from the mid neck at the back to the hem and does not appear to be altered or changed in any way from its original condition.

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care. Please purchase accordingly.

exactly what i needed
I wanted to add to my original review 6 months ago This little mount has stayed on my Model X for 6 months now and it works GREAT! Very sturdy and the magnet locks on immediately every time I drive. it's handy on the top left of my screen for a WAZE map to be alerted for those issues on the road whenever I'm on a long drive. I'm really happy with it and I bought another one for my coworker's birthday. Uploading another video. I would highly recommend. ------- This mount for my Tesla is exactly what i needed for my road trip. I really don't need it to wireless charge as cable are faster anyway. Pros: - Very easy to install. doesn't test my IQ with all the unnecessary instructions. - NO NEED for 3M stickie adhesive on my car. I just simply don't want this in my car! Bad experience in the past and I'll return anything that needs to uses a 3M adhesive. - Very strong magnet grip. Bought it right before my 10 hour road trip, no issues at all. - connects to the top 2 angles on my model X, I will likely buy another mount for the passenger seat. It will also work with the bottom angle when I tilt the screen out. - And it seem to be able to bypass the Tesla cabin camera during AP/FSD. Down sides: - it would be great if it can also charge- however i would not want a cable dangling to the 12v port./ - price is a bit on the high side

Falls regularly
It works for a bit but falls from my screen on a very regular basis no matter how tight I tighten it or what position the phone is in. The magnet it strong, but the mount itself doesn’t hold on to the screen where it’s supposed to.

It holds the phone pretty well!
Updated review: I gave this another try and it worked, the reason was previously I was rotating the nob in the wrong direction... now it fits pretty well and stays in the installed position securely! But I'm still worried about the added pressure on the display, hopefully it works fine. Overall I think it's worth a try if you need a magnetic phone holder! (ps: I was never contacted by the manufacture, I figured out the correct way to use it so I came here to update my review) --- Original title: Doesn't fit my Model 3 display too well, and it adds pressure on it. I wouldn't recommend it Original review: I don't understand all the positive reviews of this MagSafe holder. It could work, but I find it very unstable on my Model 3 2023's display. After I fit it onto the display and tried adjusting the angles or taking off the phone, the holder tended to fall off. Also it adds pressure to the display which could technically damage it. I wouldn't recommend this.
