1950's Ceil Chapman Ivory Beaded Floral Applique Silk Satin Halter Party Dress

ID: 0131182

Size: extra small

Condition: Excellent

This is such a breathtaking and ethereal couture party dress from the iconic Ceil Chapman designer label. Perfect for any upcoming special event; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! The garment is fashioned from stunning mid-weight ivory silk satin. Sparkling glass beads, rhinestones and sequins are then added throughout; giving the garment so much depth and texture. I especially love the unique lace floral applique work along the strap and hemline. The bodice is an exquisite heavily ruched boned halter design. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which finishes the 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. Old Hollywood glamour at its best!
