Vintage 1950's Ceil Chapman Pink Silk Chiffon Floral Appliqué Cocktail Dress

About the Item

An absolutely stunning and ultra rare Ceil Chapman designer vibrant pink silk-chiffon floral appliqué dress dating back to the late 1950's. Totally looks like a dress Barbie herself would wear! This would also be a really chic MET gala look. Perfect for any upcoming party; you can't help but feel so feminine in this beauty! I love the slight blousy sleeveless bodice with gorgeous inner curved boning and matching sash-waist belt for the perfect hourglass look. This silhouette really allows one to appreciate the gorgeous over-sized three dimensional floral appliqué skirting. Each large flower is sewn on by hand and the effect is sensational. This unique skirting has a lot of movement! The construction reads so fresh and modern yet also still has a timeless quality. Ceil Chapman is often said to be Marilyn Monroe's favorite designer and I can totally see why. A magnificent piece of American fashion history that you will treasure for years and years to come. Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 42 inches This Ceil Chapman designer dress is in beautiful condition with no noticeable rips, holes or alternations. Perfectly working back metal-zipper and carefully placed snap closures. Only signs of age are a few faint spots and some minor underarm wear. Please message for detailed pictures. Would made a gorgeous red carpet look or epic MET gala moment!

    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail, dating back to his 1990 Fall-Winter runway collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; liquid silk velvet in the prettiest sapphire blue color. I adore the seductive criss-cross plunge bodice with lean, long zipper-wrist sleeves. The sparkling rhinestone-encrusted side buttons create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. An hourglass nipped-waist skirt with side draping finishes this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe.
