I love this T-Back vintage dress in a beautiful summer deep rich coral shade called Coral Reef.

It is out of a heavier than cotton Jaquard fabric which is in a beautiful color. The fabric is a heavier blend of linen and cotton and is lovely. I do not see this type of fabric in modern days clothes unfortunately. Most manufacturers use cotton fabric because it is cheap and easy to get. A simple explanation of what jaquard design is is the following: " a fabric of intricate variegated weave or pattern" in which the design is woven into the fabric rather than printed which makes for a longer lasting print that does not fade and is richer in color than fabric which are not woven. My thanks for this information from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Thesaurus.

This is an expensive fabric and similar to the type that are in vintage A.J. Bari dresses from the 1970s. It is not the lightweight cotton that is in most dresses sold at stores nowadays which feels cheap and flimsy once you are familiar to expensive fabrics. There is a very subtle floral print in the background.

Four bright gold textured metal buttons in front on the set-in cummerbund waistline. The dress is completely lined with matching coral silky lining except for the back of the cummerbund. Very full skirt.
Two pocket in skirt in side seam. I love the T-back on this dress and it is perfect for summer!

Watch all the heads turn when you walk in wearing this knockout vintage halter party dress in Coral Reef

By: Branka Klarige
Size: 6 but this is vintage sizing so go by the measurements instead of the Size tag
Approximate Measurements – This means the measurements of the item listed – not of your own figure. You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.
Bust: 32 - 33
Waist: 30 with no stretch but the buttons could be moved over to add more inches to waist as there is some room there so the buttons could be moved.
Length: Measured from top back below the collar to end of skirt 47
Fabric: 50% Linen and 50% cotton
Care: Dry clean
Condition: Very good with some imperfections. There is a large dark spot opn the righthand shoulder area (1" x 2"). (4th from the end photo) I do not know if it would come out or not but I tried pinning the collar down in that area and it does hide the spot with only the tiniest tip of it showing. (3rd from the last photo) I would suggest tacking it down rather than pinning it but I will leave that up to the new owner to decide what they want to do. A couple of the buttons are pinned to the dress inside and sewing them on is an easy fix. The buttonholes thread binding around them is gone and that is an easy fix for either the new owner or the cleaner. (next to last photo)

The dress would normally be price at $250 but I have made lowered the price because of the imperfections.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.

A great resource for those on their own healing journey and others
Format: Kindle
It is said that energy medicine is the next frontier of medicine. This book helps to explain why. Barbara has decades of experience working with physics, counseling, high sense perception, as well as watching and assisting thousands of people manage their energy field for wellness. Her first book "Hands of Light" is more like a technical manual (and fascinating). This book is written for all of us - on our own healing journey and how we can **empower our selves in our own health and well being**. How we view and assimilate western concepts of "medicine", medication, therapy and other interactions into our own self has more to do with health than the intervention alone. It is also a great resource for healers, psychologists, medical professionals - anyone in a service profession aimed to assist others in their health and wellness. The concepts are powerful when practiced with intention and depth of management of our own field. We can help others by simply managing our own awareness, mindfulness and field.

The perfect companion to Hands of Light
Format: Paperback
I love Barbara Brennan's first book Hands of Light, which I read waaaaay back when it first came out! Could not put it down and it was the one that got me started on spiritual path and exploring healing practices such as Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, IET and all the other energy healing modalities. Now I am reading Light Emerging and as her first book is, it's so informative. This one is focusing on personal healing, healer and patient interaction, relationships and energy interaction and how to create positive patterns, and more. I would love to go to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing one day but in the meantime these books will carry me through to learning about healing and express myself in a more loving & nurturing way for myself and for others. This book & her first book are a must for anyone interested in exploring these types of therapy and discovering their own built-in ability to heal with energy. Enjoy!

Well written book. The author really explains EFT Tapping well. Detailed review...
Format: Kindle
Well, I must say that before reading this book, I was a doubting Thomas about EFT Tapping. Then I looked up eBooks about controlling pain naturally and rediscovered EFT Tapping method for relieving pain, anxiety, Stress and more. While I found lots of books here on Amazon (Kindle versions), what I needed was a MANUAL for EFT Tapping....You know, a basic yet effective HOW TO (Illustrated) book. 1) This is the exact book I was looking for, a how to book. No fluff, just helpful stuff. 2) So I read this book and then I tried the tapping how to do. She explained that tapping with one hand is best, I tied it and it worked. 3) This book is more of a beginner book, a starting g point. However I did some tapping (just started), and my shoulder pain went from a 8 to a 4 after the first try. (I think this worked for me because when I stress, my right shoulder (old injury) hurts. This book has been both inspiring and helpful for me personally, I intend to continue to refer to this book and keep on Tapping!

Fantastic Author!
Format: Kindle
I love this Tessa Cason’s work. EFT is such a wonderful technique to work through difficult things. Tessa is so clear in her writing about what this technique is about and how it works. She gives great explanations of EFT and how it works. Makes it easy to understand and use EFT for yourself. I highly recommend her books to people who are both new and those who are experienced with EFT.

Basic
Pros - very short and basic. Cons - a little disjointed. I was hoping to know what I needed to know to start tapping after reading this book, but it left me somewhat confused. Luckily it was so inexpensive that I still feel like I got my money's worth.
