Vintage 1950's Ceil Chapman Black & Pink Lace Strapless Peplum Hourglass Gown

About the Item

This is such a seductive and dramatic 1950's evening gown from the iconic Ceil Chapman designer label. Perfect for any upcoming event; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! The garment is fashioned from stunning black French chantilly-lace & silk-rayon. The bodice is an exquisite low-cut plunge, fully-boned strapless with a vibrant pink satin waist-sash. I love the sculpted peplum skirting which finishes this garment off with a perfect "femme fatale" silhouette. The construction is so fresh and modern but also still has a timeless quality. Ceil Chapman is often said to be Marilyn Monroe's favorite designer and I can totally see why. This dress is flirtatious and elegant at the same time. Old Hollywood glamour at its best! Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: 36 inches Length top to waist: 10 inches Length waist to hem: 37 inches This vintage Ceil Chapman designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back-zipper. This item is over 50 years old and is truly stunning!

  • Vintage 1950's Madame Grès Haute Couture Sculpted Silk Back-Bow Dress & Jacket
    By Madame Gres
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Gorgeous and incredibly rare Madame Grès haute couture sculpted black silk dress ensemble dating back to the early 1950's. Madame Grès felt that the true job of the couturier was not to create a name for one's self, as many designers do, but to pay rigorous attention to the clothing. This stunning set has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The alluring bodice has a low-cut scoop neck with flattering short sleeves. My favorite designer element is the dramatic back bow with chic cut-out. The matching jacket has a shawl-like front with a stunning cropped back. I'd wear the jacket alone with other looks for a unique bolero option. The sculpted panel style skirting ,which looks incredibly hard to mold, reads so fresh to the modern eye...
