This quality black silk evening gown dates to the late 50s or early 60s and is a beautifully crafted strapless gown.  The bodice is gathered in diagonal pleats that meet at a point at the center of the defined waistline.  It is supported by four stays positioned both front and back.  The skirt of the dress is built in wide pleats and is constructed so as to flare down to a full width at the hemline.  It is made with a train at the back.  The dress is lined in a black silk satin and is entirely hand finished. 

Sizing: This will fit a small size, but please rely on the following measurements for fit, noting in particular the waist:

Bust:  35” around

Waist:  25” around

Hips:  Full, but meant to fall to fit

Length:  47”, measured flat at the center front from the top of the bodice to the hemline and 53” in length at the back, from the top of the low back to the hemline of the train

Weight:  3 lbs and 10 oz. - this is a substantial dress featuring quality fabric

Condition: 

This dress is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, staining or odor - this dress looks to have seen little use and was well cared for over the years.

A bit of information about the couturier.  It was made by Montreal couturier Frank Oujezdsky.  He catered to Montreal socialites and is also noted for having made dresses for Gerda Munsinger, the central character in a Canadian spy and sex scandal involving government ministers during the early 1960s.

This is a gorgeous evening dress - understated, sophisticated and elegant, perfect for a formal occasion.

Pleasantly surprised by the humor and practical exercises
Format: Kindle
Ok, so generally, I hate parenting books. I've read at least 5 well known Christian parenting books, and I'm usually either bored to tears with impractical theories that don't really work with my three strong-willed boys, or angry at the over-simplified anecdotes that also don't work with my kids. It feels like most parenting books are written by men who have fully-grown children and I struggle to relate. I've gleaned a few techniques here and there that have been helpful, but left mostly dissatisfied. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this one! I appreciate that it's written by a fellow mom who is not too far down the parenting road that she's forgotten how hard it is. And she is funny! The embarrassing story she shares about her daughter's first birthday party literally had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. That alone was worth the book for me. I'm only about halfway through right now, but it's been such a refreshing book. I love the practical ideas for sorting family rules/values, and evaluating infractions, misdemeanors and felonies. The suggested activities are practical and not overwhelming. I find myself wanting to discuss it with my husband to try some different ideas already. That is a win! And ultimately the gospel-centered approach of what it looks like to parent our children the way God parents us - with a balanced grace - is what I want to be doing.

The perfect parenting book for the perfect time!
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book a lot! I laughed and I cried, then I laughed some more. The way you wrote the book is how I would write something like this. I really appreciated how you described your real life circumstances, most I can relate to… i.e. don’t open another cereal box till the current one is empty, how you threw together Riley’s birthday party but said all-well and let God lead, and how you are a visual learner and your husband lives on an Excel sheet. LOL, so funny! I really loved how you put humor into what can be an exhausting task of parenting, we need the laugh. On a serious note, it was great that you started w/ the idea of your own heart check before you disciple your children and that the idea is to always discipline in our kids’ best interests. I also loved learning to “protect our kids LESS so we can PREPARE them more.” Our son is in 6th grade this year and boy is that an eye opener and true statement for him. Having good boundaries (rules), decipher each violation, what are his motives, and the consequences (and specific listed ones) were amazing and a huge confirmation for me as we’ve started into the pre-teen years. Thank you so much for a God-led book on parenting when it’s the hardest but most rewarding thing a person can ever do.

good discussion of discipline, but not anti-spanking as I was lead to believe
Format: Paperback
What I liked: -Murray encourages parents not to react identically to all "infractions." Children misbehave in different ways and certain behaviors are not as bad as others. It's straight up bad parenting to react the same way in every occasion (e.g. breaking a lamp while rough housing is not the same as cheating on a test at school and should not be addressed identically. "disobedience" is not a catch-all "sin"). -Murray encourages parents to consider developmental abilities (toddlers are toddlers and it is not immoral for them to act like toddlers) and different personalities (perfectionists might seem more well-behaved than their artsy free spirited siblings, but it's just because perfectionists feel more at home in rigidity, while such rigidity suffocates a free spirit). What I didn't like: -Murray acts like she doesn't care whether you spank (she makes one small reference in the body of the book and waits to address spanking until an appendix at the end). However, it is clear that she is pro-spanking when she accuses non-spankers of falling into license or a lack of desire to discipline (the only thing spankers have to worry about is abuse, which is such a vague standard). Honestly this appendix really upset me because the rest of the book seemed so positive and powerful and it was disappointing to read after ALL THAT, basically the best discipline for young children is a spank. But I didn't want to drop the book's rating all the way down to a 2 or 3 because the body of the book really is helpful and much more positive than most conservative, Christian parenting books that automatically center every discipline discussion around "the rod."

I wish I had read this sooner.
Format: Kindle
This book helped not only my discipline strategies but my faith. I didn’t even realize that I was not raised in a grace-based discipline approach. I’m so thankful that this book helped to convict me on a few things so I can show my daughter God’s love for her more clearly. I loved her humor. Made it actually really enjoyable to read! Her details are what really helped me. I am the kind of person who learns best from specific examples; this book has some good ones. I loved that there weren’t any muddy concepts and it didn’t get too theoretical type so I could actually understand.

Excellent resource for Christian parents raising the next generation!
Format: Paperback
I am currently researching and reading materials for a book I’m writing regarding how to build a strong foundation in children before the age of 10. I’ve read quite a few books so far, and I have to say one of my favorites is Grace Based Discipline. The author has done an excellent job, and and her witty humor makes this an enjoyable read! Because of this book, I am ordering the other books that her and her father have written!
