From the 1950s, a black cocktail dress with elbow-length gusseted sleeves, nipped waist, slim skirt, low squared back, and a dramatic, sculptural detail and fringed swag at left hip.  Beautifully constructed with dressmaker details including lingerie stays and strategic darts in all the right places. Note the asymetrical back metal zipper with hooks&eyes at top and waist. Fully lined. Mid-century perfection. Just superb.

Labels: none - expertly dressmaker or home sewn

Fiber/Care: no tags, silk in a substantial and luxurious weave, dry-clean

Condition: no flaws to note. the skirt looks rather short on Delphine, but she's over 6 ft. tall with 36" inseam, and we suspect this dress was made for a much shorter woman. 

*This cocktail dress is dry-cleaned and ready to wear.*

Garment Measurements:
 bodice: 15"/38cm
 bust: 32"/81.25cm + darts
 waist: 24"/61cm (fits Delphine's 24" waist without a problem)

It is very good body wash. I tried the Fragrance. It’s ok but I like the golden Amber much better. I also like the shampoo and conditioner

An incredible guide for your Advent journey.
Format: Paperback
Thank you Miriam for bringing us this beautiful and deep guide for our Advent journey. I used it for the first time in 2023, and will definitely be using it again in 2024. I loved and looked forward to every day that I sat with the daily passage. Miriam guides us into daily Scripture, and includes questions for us to meditate on and apply those passages. In addition, she adds her own meditation, which offers a rich perspective. It is accompanied by Lilias Trotter's own perspective through her words and wisdom and gorgeous art. The author invites us into self-reflection multiple times through each daily passage and includes poetry and song that binds each daily message. I will definitely give these as gifts for next year, and I am so looking forward to walking through it again next Advent. It will be interesting to see the Lord's living and active wisdom reveal itself year after year. I would highly recommend keeping a journal as you dive in to this rich, rewarding journey.

Good news, bad news.
Format: Paperback
I like the product, but because it was inadequately packaged, the top of the book is imperfect. It's certainly readable, but if I am paying full price, I expect a perfect copy.

Deep Into the Financial Nuts and Bolts
Format: Paperback
This a very, very informative book about the financial crash of 2008 and its lengthy recovery. The British author is a fine writer and definitely appears to master the subject. His background is as an economic historian and his approach to the financial collapse is thru the lens of political economy. For a European, he is very charitable towards the failures of the US markets and the responses of the US govt in the crisis. In fact, he is much more critical of the Germans and the British and the EU govts in their involvement in the crisis and their failure to more effectively guide the Eurozone out of the financial crisis. The book is somewhat dense and daunting and is 616 pages of text. Definitly not for the faint of heart or those who are not somewhat financially and economically literate. It does not lend itself to speed reading. A glossary and list of abbreviations would have been very helpful--as other commenters have suggested. Abbreviated acronyms of organizations, treaties, agreements,govt agencies, etc. come flying fast and furious. Still, with due and diligent effort on the part of the reader, you can see how very well the author knits his technocratic financial narrative together. The negative reviews often seem poorly informed. It's a difficult book to get thru. Some readers appear to dislike the author because he is a Keynesian liberal. I understand that, but they should note that he tends to be very positive about US govt financial leadership leading the world out of the crisis. Some don't like the fact that he thinks Trump is a grifter. Unfortunately, Trump is, irrefutably, a grifter and a con man. The only areas where I found myself disagreeing with the author were on the issues of immigration and protectionism. The Eurozone and the US cannot support unrestricted immigration. There are too many millions in the world of 8 billion people who would kick down the gateways of either entitity to gain entry. Unrestricted immigration is an existential threat to all the Western countries involved. Sober assessment of reality is something other than "racist". "Realistic" is a far more accurate term. The author is a classic liberal and against national "protectionism". However, this is 2023. The book was written in 2017. Much water has passed under the bridge since then. Countries are political entities with borders. Too often--as the writer points out--economic and financial advisors forget the "political" part of "political economy". Trump's legions are there to remind them. At least they are good for something. Protecting your economy from essential foreign supply chain failures and from hostile foreign competitors is just good governance. And insuring that others share in general prosperity besides coastal elites is another part of good governance. "Flyover Country" is every bit as important as the two coasts. Probably more so. Never forget the "political" part of "political economy".
