This absolutely incredible vintage 1950s portrait collar halter dress is crafted in lush sherbet-pink silk. It was made in the 1950s by a California-based dressmaker but clearly draws inspiration from Christian Dior's groundbreaking designs of the early 1950s. The construction is just phenomenal— the chest is built out, so structured that it's almost forming cups, and the halter neckline is finished with an exaggerated portrait collar. A waist seam sits under the chest, and the entire waist is carved out with many smaller panels, each of which increases in width past the waistline to form an incredible full skirt. The fact that it's constructed with these panels gives unrivaled structure to the skirt, while also creating a tiny hourglass waist, uninterrupted by a horizontal seam. On one side of the hips is a flounce detail in an abstract bow shape, forming almost an asymmetrical peplum. The halter secures behind the neck with buttons, and the dress has a zip closure down the back. 

Measurements: This will best fit a size X-Small or Small, but please refer to below measurements to be sure.

Chest: about 32" laid flat, will accomodate more if needed because of how the chest is built out
Waist: 26.5-27"
Hips are free
Length: 35.25" down side from armpit to hem

Great vintage condition, with minor signs of wear commensurate with age, and some minor mending, none of which is visible when worn— it presents absolutely flawlessly. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email [email protected] for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.

foundational, dense
Format: Paperback
An extremely important book for anyone interested in the humanities or the sciences, particularly astronomy. It's a foundational work to help guide us towards understanding all of the past, present, and possibly future of humanity. The authors' style is a bit dense and may be more greatly appreciated by polyglots, but they get their points across extremely thoroughly.

Deepest Wisdom Within
Format: Paperback
Fantastic and engaging read. A must for serious comparison into myths. Esoteric wisdom found along paths of clear knowledge from the collective nature source of all epochal imagery (hidden history of the Ancients) unfolds within. Helpful in putting much confusion of modernity into context. Causes one to consider the scientific accomplishments of previous cultures rather than pondering thru occulted and poorly choreographed explanations about how such advanced civilizations achieved their grandeur; which were obviously far more advanced technologically than NASA is by light years! We are re-discovering what many peoples already understood long long ago. Recorded and referenced histories go back 100s of thsds of years and more. The book does not make judgements upon written records or of oral traditions but would implore readers come to a self realization by discovering information that causes one to expand their own minds and concur with known facts and of what remains from the past. High above the casual status quo official, sidetracked narratives that lead to reckless abandon and despair. Dialed in and deep! A real treasure trove. Highly recommended.

Packed with knowledge and mystery!
Format: Paperback
I gave this book 5 stars because this is an exhaustive compendium of mythological knowledge in one short (505 pages) volume. It is professorial in writing design, which includes excerpts in Latin, French and German, as well as the many words and phrases from India, Mesopotamia, northern Europe, Pacifiic islands and so forth. I recommend reading the appendices in the order they are referred to in the main text. I read them last and did not glean an understanding that accompanied the chapters. All in all, this is a researcher's book with 29 pages of bibliography material, with extensive notes at the bottom of the pages so one can stay on text. Good luck and enjoy the perusal of mythology, astronomy/astrology, history, poetry and fable. Great reading!

Interesting connections made.
Format: Paperback
I bought this because or had been referred to in several other excellent books I've read. Very scholarly and good case made but a bit dry and overdone/redundant at times when making a point. And if you've studied a lot, nothing really new revealed- but if just starting down this road, some great comparisons made.

Seminal
Format: Paperback
As many have noted, Hamlet's Mill is not an "easy" read, but it is an absolutely worthwhile experience not only to read but to re-read this seminal thesis on the transmission of ancient astronomical knowledge through mythology and legend. Perhaps the fact that a reader must wrestle with this text is part of the reason that it has generated so many fruitful inquiries and theories by later authors. The entire book is rich with ideas, many of which the authors drop and then pick up again and again later in the text, some of which are simply left for later analysts to pursue further on their own. Slice into it at any point and you will find a rich vein of material that can suggest new avenues for you to explore in the ancient history and literatures of the world. Sometimes an easy read or a text that hands you all of its answers and does the work for you is not "what the doctor ordered." Hamlet's Mill definitely makes more sense the second and even third time through. That in and of itself makes this book worth your while -- it's a gift that keeps on giving, a book you can keep on reading, even after you reach the end!
