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

    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    An absolutely breathtaking and incredibly rare Galindo Couture "Where Angels Rest" metallic amber devoré silk-velvet trained gown dating back to fall/winter 1999. This custom couture dress was made for Melanie Griffith who wore this incredible look while attending the Producers Guild Awards with Antonio Banderas. The fabric used to create this gown is sensational; shimmering metallic amber devoré silk-velvet in the prettiest large-scale rose garden motif. I love the front plunge and very low-cut sides which work flawlessly with the incredible double layered draped cowl back. The flattering trained bias-cut is such a beautiful nod to 1930's fashion which was made very popular during this time due to John Galliano's vintage inspired collections...
