About the Item
This navy cotton dress was made by L’Aignon in the 1950s - a very high quality American ready to wear brand sold in some of the best department stores in the US. They regularly advertised in Vogue from the 1940s to 1960s. The dress is cut to a classic short-sleeve shirt-waister style with a nipped-in waist and flared skirt silhouette that fall to around the mid-calf. The fabric is detailed with knife pleats the whole length of the dress which adds interesting texture to this timeless piece. It has a rounded neckline and fastens down the front with large tonal navy buttons which fall to the bottom hem. The skirt is box pleated at the waist and is unlined.
In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and looks barely worn. It has no size labels so please check our measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. We believe it would best fit a size UK 10, US 6 as it has a smaller waist but plenty of give in the hip.

1950s Ceil Chapman Black Silk Taffeta Full Circle Dress
By Ceil Chapman
Located in London, GB
This is a brilliant example of Ceil Chapman's early work from the late 1940s to early 1950s and the black taffeta silk design is exquisite. Its the first thing you notice about this dress which has the most unusual construction. The skirt's textured element from a distance looks like a floral design but its actually a large number of circular pleated stitched designs. The way the fabric is pulled and stitched creates an almost 3D effect. We have never seen this work before but it would have taken a very skilled seamstress and an incredible amount of time to do it. The dress style is a classic shirtwaister design with three taffeta covered buttons to fasten the bodice which is beautifully shaped and Princess seamed. The sleeves are three quarter length and feature a folded cuff...
