About the Item
This seductive 1950s black silk satin cocktail dress is of superb quality and construction. It is a stunning example of an evening dress from this decade and features a sweetheart neckline in soft black netting with a nude satin underlay and lace ruffle embellishment over the bust, creating a sensuous peekaboo effect. There are spaghetti straps, princess seams along the bodice and a slightly dropped, curved waistline atop of a classic '50s full skirt which creates a beautiful hourglass shape. There is boning around the bodice for extra support, which really emphasises the nipped-in waist silhouette that was so aspirational during this era. It fastens with a hidden tonal central zip fastening at the reverse. The piece is unlabelled although we believe it to be made in the US.
This piece is in very good vintage condition. Please note there is a slight bit of pulling around the rear zip (please see photograph). Due to its age, there is no composition or size label so please check the measurements below carefully. We believe it would best suit US size 4, UK size 8. The fabric has no stretch.

By Ceil Chapman
Located in London, GB
This early 1950s Ceil Chapman taffeta and silk dress is a timeless and elegant party dress. It has a fitted ruched bodice, cut from soft black silk jersey, which hugs the body beautifully to create a feminine shape. The ruching is sewn in two vertical lines down the front of the dress and is also shaped around the bust. The skirt flares out from the bodice at around the low hip point and is made up of black taffeta which is pleated to create volume and movement. The material has a lovely thick, quality feel to it. The dress fastens down the back with the original metal zipper which is finished with a hook and eye closure to the top.
