An absolutely breathtaking and ultra rare Germaine Monteil couture polka dot bias-cut gown ensemble dating back to the mid 1930's. Germaine Monteil is remembered most for her cosmetics empire, but she was first a well-known fashion designer. Born in France, she moved to America in the early 1930's and opened her own house at 663 Fifth Avenue in New York. In recognition of her vast influence upon the fashion industry, Monteil received a Neiman Marcus Fashion Award in 1938. This incredible black and yellow polka-dot silk gown with matching capelet is a masterclass in craftsmanship. The chic thin-strap bodice has the most incredible floral appliqués along the bodice in the same hue. This detail adds such depth and texture to the delicate fabric. The matching romantic tiered capelet elevates the look with additional layers gracefully falling over the bust, lending an air of allure. The bias-cut design of this exquisite gown drapes the body in a flattering silhouette, emphasizing the curves while allowing for graceful movement. Definitely a type of garment that would have influenced John Galliano while he was working at Christian Dior. It is amazing that a gown with this amount of presence can literally feel almost weightless but it does. An iconic example of high-end 'Old Hollywood' glamour from this very special era.
Measurements
Bust: 31-34 inches
Waist: 24-27 inches
Hips: up to 36 inches

This 1930's Germaine Monteil designer gown is in very good wearable condition with no fade, alterations or missing appliqués. Slips over the head with no additional closures. Signs of wear include some over all faint surface spots and two tiny holes to the silk bodice which do not go through the lining. Please message for detailed pictures. A rare piece of wearable art that will only go up in value.

Emotional development...
Format: Hardcover
Cattywampus
Ash Van Otterloo
This is the story of Delpha McGill, a girl that doesn’t like rules or keeping secrets. Delpha lives in a small town in rural Appalachia, Howler’s Hollow, where magic is not permitted. She discovers her grandmother’s hidden book of spells which she is determined to use to help her mother.
Katybird Hearn has her own reasons for wanting to get her hands on the book of spells and has resolved nobody is going to stand in her way. She comes from a long line of witches. In the midst of their squabble, they unintentionally allow a curse to escape. The curse is so evil it wakes their dead ancestors, the Hearns and the McGills, The two girls must learn to work together if they are going to save the town from the zombies.
The author uses great sensitivity in incorporating androgen insensitivity in the plot. Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female external sex characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development. Poverty, sorcery, fears, friendship, and ignorant biases are all a part of this book.
Author Ash Van Otterloo portrays life in a southern country town in the mountains and he does so without being demeaning or patronizing. The characters are well fleshed out. While magic is part of the plot, it is merely a means to showcase the emotional development of the two girls. This is a fast-paced read. The target audience is 10-13 years of age.

Fun if a bit offbeat upper elementary fantasy
Format: Hardcover
I read this in one afternoon and have to say I enjoyed it. The cast of characters are incredibly diverse, and for the most part this is a believable story (despite the undead magicians and ridiculous outhouse) This story is a "Hatfields vs McCoys" if the two hillbilly families were magicians and were feuding over how they practice instead of over moonshine and land. This brings me to my first gripe with the novel. The dense dialogue in accents. For a middle grade book, the text is filled with a lot of phonetic spellings and backwards english. I guess it is to be atmospheric, but it just makes the characters seem dumb. And that is sad because they are not. Stubborn, and sometimes too preoccupied to see what is under their noses but not stupid. I sometimes felt that the characters had been written into a corner so there were multiple instances of "because magic" and convenient acts of random fortuitous "we have everything we need and don't have to search more because the Luck Gods were smiling". Once or twice I completely missed how the characters got from point A to point B and I Really dislike "wave a wand and everything is good and the mortals forget what happened". A little convenient magic written to solve a solution is fine. But the ending sort of feels a little flat when a Major concern for the entire novel is resolved by sleight of hand.
On the whole though, the characters are likable, and age appropriate (though a bit whiny at times for this parent ;-p) and I liked that diversity isn't a "cause" its just an adjective...As in, there is a gay couple who act like every other parent in the story. There is a deaf younger brother who isn't treated as 'precious' but as a functioning human. Even one of the main characters is intersex and does question "Am I girl enough to be a witch". None of the cast of characters feels forced or out of place making this a nice addition to my kid's library.
