In the course of browsing an illustrated book of objects--umbrellas, watches, tools, clothes--artist Max Ernst was struck by the items' unusual juxtapositions. By manipulating the Victorian-era engravings into striking tableaux and adding brief captions, Ernst invented the collage novel and transformed banal advertising art into revealing dramas rooted in his dreams and secret desires.
A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil was originally published in 1930 as R ve d'une petite fille qui voulut entrer au Carmel. Its hallucinatory visions center on the nightmares of a girl who loses her virginity on the day of her first communion and resolves to become a nun. Ernst, a pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealistic art, blends humor and irony in his exploration of the nonrational but very real intersection of religious ecstasy and erotic desire. A century after its debut, this profoundly peculiar book retains its shock value as well as its imaginative power.

Carefully measure your size
Size: Large, Color: Ocean Blue
So difficult to get over my shoulders I guess it's a little small for me. Comfortable but I don't want to take it off or put it on

Larger than life
Size: X-Large, Color: Ocean Blue
The fit is large! So go down a size. It’s soft and seems like good quality, but absolutely huge

Very good quality sports bra.
Size: Large, Color: Navy
Very good sports bra. It is high quality and made well. It is a full coverage bra which gives it good support but also makes it a little hot especially in warmer temperatures but at the same time it is very nice for cooler temps.

Supportive and Comfortable but Size Down!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
Very supportive for the big chested girlies! Material is comfortable and sweat wicking. I’d recommend sizing down for a snug fit.

Nice fabric, comfortable, easy maintenance
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Large, Color: Taupe, Special Size: 27.5" Full Length, Size: Large, Color: Taupe
I ordered a medium and they’re actually a size large. And they are just too large. I should’ve gotten the small, as recommended I thought I was ordering medium and I think I would’ve been OK with a medium, but where I usually wear a small and they sent me a large. It was just ridiculously large. They are lightweight and they are warm. I’m a senior and I’m thin so I get cold very easily especially in early morning and evening, so I like to wear them in the morning for my walks/yoga , they also work nicely under a longish skirt so it’s not so sheer… will definitely get more but will go with the small size. Just for reference, I’m 5 foot seven I usually wear a small or a size 5/6 usa size so these were too large, particularly in the waist just overall they were too large, but I think even if I got a small size they’re still gonna be kind of large in the stomach. I have an hourglass shape just for reference, but they are very comfortable, and I love the fabric. I am keeping them because I like the fabric and I really need them. I just will not wear them out of the house right now because they’re not fitting properly but next go round we’ll get the right size. Price was right they were having a sale so it was a bit of an impulse buy. But hello it was only 10 bucks! so that’s why it’s not worth sending it back for me. Overall, very nice quality and would recommend. Cats like the fabric too! 😸
