This is a stunning wedding piece by Oscar de la Renta who was known for his beautiful and feminine designs. This dress is an absolute showcase piece that still feels surprisingly modern while at the same time it still has those vintage touches that many brides are now after. The play on proportions and the way that it is constructed with its elaborate bodice still feel extremely of this moment and it is just gorgeous. Oscar had an amazing sense of aesthetics and his genius was in making women look and feel beautiful. I think it has a bit of that Princess Diana feel to it as well and I am in love with it. 

The dress is like a magical fairy tale version of all that was amazing about this time period. It is made out of an off-white ivory silk with a built-in tulle underskirt that gives the skirt the volume that you see. The bodice cuts across the shoulders to leave each shoulder bare and exposed. I think you can also wear it more up on the shoulders if you wished but it is really spectacular when they are left bare. A ruffle circles the entire neckline and this is then finished with a romantic lace edging. There is a second ruffled layer of the same silk and lace that curves around the seam where each sleeve is inserted into the bodice for extra detailing. The bodice is meant to skim over you and it is elaborately finished with vertical rows of tiny, perfect pleats. Each pleat is the exact same size as its neighbour and these circle all the way  around the entire bodice. The pleats are held perfectly in place with bands of the same lace used on the neckline. The waist seam is slightly dropped and there is a lace edged peplum that matches the band around the neckline there. If you wanted to you could add a ribbon belt or sash just above this for more shape I think. The skirt sweeps to the floor in a cascade of silk from there. Under that top layer of silk is a full built-in tulle underskirt with an inner skirt inside that so it's comfortable against your skin. I did not use any extra crinolines under the dress. All of the volume you see is what is there, though you could certainly add more underskirts if you wanted it to be even fuller. The back of the skirt extends out quite a bit to create a fantastic train behind you. The sleeves are magnificent. Each one is cut to sit far off and down your shoulder and has insets of that same lace ribbon that are set on an angle to circle around the sleeves. Each sleeve ends in a lace trimmed ruffle. They have tremendous volume with a huge and elaborate pouf to them. They are the perfect finish to this high fantasy gown. The workmanship is incredible and it is absolutely beautiful. This would make an extraordinary wedding gown for the bride looking for something unique. Excellent condition

Fully lined in an ivory silky rayon and closes with a back zipper and then a series of silk covered buttons closes over that. Snaps close the keyhole over the bottom part of the zipper below the waist seam. It has a full built-in tulle underskirt as described above. Each sleeve has elastic at the cuff. It appears to have never been worn. It is a touch more ivory in person then how it photoed. 

Sleeves: the sleeves themselves are approx 15" from the top seam to end of ruffle
Bust: 17.5-18" flat across from side seam to side seam 
Waist: 14" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open

A must read for anyone getting ready for college!
Format: Kindle
Very eye opening! I really got a feel for what the admissions officers go through. I really had no idea, i thought it was much more impersonal. My only complaint is that I wish along with the other students in which they chose to go into depth that they would have chosen an international student. I would have liked to have known how they were evaluated as compared to the American applicants. But still this book was not only helpful but interesting as a novel with personal stories you were interested in following.

Illuminating insights on the transformative power of college
Format: Hardcover
Mindset Matters is an inspiring, timely, and useful exploration of how higher education can transform lives by fostering the key mindsets essential for success in today’s complex and fast-changing world. Drawing on his extensive experience as a leader in higher education and lifelong learning, Porterfield makes a compelling case for cultivating five critical mindsets — Discovery, Creation, Mentorship, Collaboration, and Striving — all aligned with a growth mindset. He explains how colleges can develop these mindsets to prepare students for lifelong growth. The book is grounded in real stories of students whose lives were transformed by higher education. The thoughtful narratives illustrate how institutions can create environments and systems where all students can thrive. Through this work, Porterfield offers a roadmap for helping prepare individuals to embrace growth, pursue opportunities, navigate challenges, and drive meaningful impact — throughout their lives. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone interested in the future of higher education, Mindset Matters will leave you inspired and equipped with new perspectives and strategies. I highly recommend it.

Disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I had high hopes. But this book seems to be more of a rosy retrospective of one college president years in charge than it is a real useful book about how to help students.

Reminds us of the value of a college education beyond academic facts and skills.
Format: Kindle
At a time when many students and families are questioning the value of a 4-year college education, Porterfield does a great job of describing the intangibles behind an earned degree. Many people are aware that there is more to a college education than academic facts and skills, but this book presents the case comprehensively. It identifies "soft skills" specifically and gives good examples of how they can be taught and learned in the college environment.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
Mia is a ten-year-old Chinese immigrant. She had immigrated to California from China 2 years earlier with her parents, who were hoping for a better life. Unfortunately, the United States in the 1990s was not exactly welcoming to Chinese immigrants, and many struggled. Mia and her parents were no different. After gaining and losing several jobs and facing homelessness again, Mia's parents take a job managing a motel. Unfortunately, the motel owner - who is Taiwanese, not Chinese, as he is quick to point out - is not only overtly racist, he is also exploitive and seems almost happy to point out to Mia's parents that they could be replaced immediately when they question his actions. But Mia and her parents try to make the best of it. Mia works the front desk when at the motel, quickly learning the ropes and consistently trying to find ways to help the guests and her family. She also becomes friends with the weeklies at the motel - those guests who live at the motel and pay weekly - and they quickly become part of her growing family. At school, though, Mia struggles. She can't tell the other students - most of whom are white - that she lives in a motel. She struggles in English, though she loves writing, and she also has disagreements with her mother who thinks she should focus on math and forget about writing because "she'll never be able to write as well as the white kids" for whom English is their native language. Most of the book is a slice-of-life look at running a hotel and Mia's struggle to integrate with the other students at school. Though it may seem to some that too much goes wrong at the motel in too short a period of time, I can say from experience that this depiction is incredibly realistic. While reading it, I was having flashbacks to my own experience managing a motel and running the front desk. The news Mia and her family get in chapter 55, in particular, hit hard on the feels for me, because my husband and I went through that same situation. We didn't use the same solution that Mia and her family did, and I definitely loved the solution they came up with. Throughout the story were the letters that Mia wrote, each for a different situation. These were an added touch, helping to bring the reader back to the days of the early and mid-90s, before email was ubiquitous and text messaging was still a dream. Her struggle to put word to paper, to make sure she was using the right words and tenses, was an added dimension to the story that I didn't expect but definitely appreciated. The author's note at the end, where she discussed her own experiences was also incredibly moving, and I loved learning that much of the book's scenarios were pulled from her own experiences, while also wanting to give a hug to the child that had to experience that struggle. I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook, narrated by Sunny Lu, and I highly recommend it. Lu did a wonderful job with the narration, injecting just the right amount of emotion and tension into the performance. I had to force myself to stop listening so I could go to bed; had I not, I would have listened right through to the end and not getting any sleep. While I would have enjoyed the story, work the next day would not have been fun. Lol. So, long review short, I definitely recommend this book. For younger readers, I would recommend a parent read with them, as there are some tough situations that they may need/want to talk about. But overall, this is a story of hope for an immigrant family who is struggling to make a better life for themselves.
