1950's Ceil Chapman Pink Silk Chiffon Floral Appliqué Glamourous 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!
