1950's Ceil Chapman Watercolor Silk Floral Print Strapless Dress

This is such a romantic and dramatic cocktail-length dress from the iconic "Ceil Chapman" designer label. Perfect for any upcoming party; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! The garment is fashioned from a vibrant watercolor rose-garden floral silk-taffeta. The bodice is an exquisite heavily-sculptured boned strapless. A nipped-waist pleated full-skirt finishes this garment off with a perfect "new look" silhouette. Ceil Chapman is often said to be Marilyn Monroe’s favorite designer and I can totally see why. This dress is flirty and elegant at the same time. Old Hollywood glamour at its best!
