Size: small

Condition: Excellent

An absolutely stunning 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! 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.
