This is a striking full length gold lamé brocade evening gown made in Switzerland during the 1960s.  Like most Swiss made items, it smacks of quality.  The dress can be worn either strapless or with straps as the straps snap on, so are easily removed.  It has a wide V shaped neckline and crossover bodice.  There is a pink silk satin ribbon, with bow at the side, delineating the empire style waist. It has its own inner green silk faille bustier that does up with hooks and eyes (see last close-up photo).  It is fully lined with white silk organza and does up the back with a nylon zipper. 

Fabric:  Heavy gold silk base fabric with metallic gold detail with raised designs in colours of peach and silver grey, quite spectacular   

Sizing:  Size 10 is indicated, and although it should fit a medium size, please note the following measurements for fit, keeping the style and cut of the garment in mind - please measure your body or a similar garment that you own:

Shoulders:  15” / Bust: 34” / Waist: 27” around, taken under the ribbon - the true waist is also 27” around / Hips:  36” around, meant to fall loosely / Overall length: 52" measured flat 

Condition:  The dress is in very good condition with no pronounced wear or tear or odors - this looks to have seen little use and was well stored over the years.  

This is a super quality evening gown - sure to make an impression, especially under lighting!

Skimming the Surface
Format: Hardcover
The essence of this book is to succinctly explain the role of CIA's National Clandestine Service (Directorate of Operations) in formulating and more importantly executing a coherent counter-terrorism strategy. Gary Berntsen is a retired CIA intelligence officer (clandestine service) with an impressive record of field assignments to his credit. He also clearly knows the ways of Washington D.C. in that this book is designed for those suffering from attention deficit disorder. While he raises several interesting point in the book, he also reveals an astonishing narrowness of view and tendency to reduce everything to its simplest terms. In his introductory `background' chapter Berntsen makes the dubious claim that the collection of intelligence from human sources (HUMINT) is the "primary mission of CIA." Apparently he is unaware that CIA was originally founded to produce all source finished intelligence and that the National Intelligence Council (NIC), until recently under CIA, was the final word in the U.S. Intelligence System. Nothing reveals the sorry state of CIA's Directorate of Intelligence better than this claim. In the same manner Berntsen is apparently oblivious to the availability and uses of intelligence collected by technical means. To his credit he does recognize that the best intelligence is more often available from open (non-classified) sources than from secret sources. Yet he neither expands nor follows up this observation. Berntsen more or less follows this pattern through out this book. For example he provides a brief discussion of the traditional Islamic Banking System called Hawalla, but is apparently unaware that the system is based on a recognized credit not cash and that money does not move across international borders. The system is widely trusted and is widely used by Muslim expatriates in the West and Saudi Arabia to send money home. For this reason Hawalla credit transfers providing money to terrorists are easily lost in a world wide mass of transactions. Yet it is possible to track Hawalla transactions and it has been done without "intensive manpower" allocations. Berntsen deserves a good deal of respect and credit for his obvious service to the U. S. and his dedication to the cause of clandestine intelligence operations and its hand maiden covert operations. Yet this book is a terminally superficial and ill-considered work by someone who not only should know better, but could have produced a first rate `practical guide' to a counter-terrorism strategy.

Excellent Overview on Counterterrorism

What really sets this book apart from the rest of books on the subject is that it illustrates positive solutions to the problems. It is also a very entertaining and fun read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone concerned over current events and terrorism in our time.
