Vintage 1950's Ceil Chapman Watercolor Floral Print Ruched Silk Cocktail Dress
About the Item
This is such a romantic and seductive cocktail from the iconic Ceil Chapman designer label. Perfect for any upcoming gala or wedding; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! The garment is fashioned from a vibrant watercolor floral-garden pure silk. The bodice is an exquisite heavily-sculptured scoop-neck plunge, ruched short-sleeve design. A nipped-waist hourglass skirt with a seductive back fishtail finishes this garment off with a perfect "femme fatale" 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 finest!

- 1920's French Couture Metallic Gold Lamé Beaded Leaf-Motif Trained Flapper DressLocated in Beverly Hills, CABreathtaking mid-1920's French couture museum-quality beaded & jeweled metallic lamé evening trained dress. The dramatic gold color palette touches a deep chord in our collective aesthetic consciousness. As fashion lovers, we never tire from antique metallics; they will always be fresh to modern eyes. It is in wonderful wearable condition; something that is becoming a rarity as time goes by. The gold fabric is even more amazing when you realize it is all hand-beaded in the much gorgeous turquoise and creme leaf motif. The prong-set jewels add another degree of charm that is irresistible. I adore the fringed cut-out shoulders and three-dimensional floral side applique. The attached duel-trains really set this garment apart of others during the period. This is one of the best 1920's pieces I have ever seen and I would not be surprised to learn that it was custom made from one of the top haute-couture Paris...Category
