1950's Ceil Chapman Silk Jersey and Silk Chiffon Evening Dress

"Ceil Chapman" black on white label. A rare turquoise color, I don't think I have ever seen this color in a Chapman dress before. And, also rare pleated silk jersey bodice which is just gorgeous. The styling is a very form fitting bodice with a V neckline with off-the-shoulder sleeves that are also pleated. The skirt is done in three layers: top layer of matching turquoise silk chiffon, next layer is matching silk netting, and final layer is matching rayon crepe. The bodice is lined in turquoise silk, and the dress fastens with back metal zipper. In good condition, structurally sound and wearable. The silk chiffon skirt has several fade streaks, there are 6 vertical light streaks from side of skirt to side of skirt, spaced evenly about every 8 inches. There is a patch of brown spots above the hem at side hem, two large water marks, and a small less than a dime size hole right above hem. If the dress were to be taken up 3-4" the brown spots and the hole would be gone. There is also a very faint light brown mark on one sleeve. It presents nicely despite the flaws. Size small. Measures 34" bust, 24" waist, free hips, 16" shoulder to waist, 29" waist to hem. For a larger view click here. For a side view click here. For a back view click here. For a bodice view click here.

1960's Bonwit Teller Silk Velvet "Audrey" Gown with Satin -Trim Back

"Bonwit Teller" label. Gorgeous and so Audrey Hepburn, so Givenchy! This is actually a wrap style sheath gown, it wraps over in back and fastens with large cloth covered snaps and hooks, but there are only a couple fasteners around waist/back area, probably was designed to wear over pants. A pair of cigarette pants would look elegant!  It is fitted through bodice and waist, with long narrow skirt. There is just a hint of shirring (light pleating or gathering of fabric) around the waist, and the back neckline dips very elegantly down to expose some skin. At back waist at off-center there is a lovely matte black silk satin bow with streamers that cascade down to hem. The gown is fully lined and in excellent condition with very little wear, but does have two eraser head sized areas where the velvet is smashed down, one spot on lower center front skirt and the other on lower center back skirt. This gown is quite small, and will be longer on a shorter frame. It measures about 14-14 1/2" shoulder to shoulder edge, 30-32" bust, 24" waist, up to 36" hips, 13" shoulder to high/empire waist, and 51" shoulder to hem. For a larger view click here.

1950's Cotton Sarong Style Dress with Embroidery and Swag

No labels, probably seamstress sewn. Pretty blue cotton faille fabric, fitted bodice and waist. The off-shoulder sleeves and neckline have zigzag edges decorated with the prettiest cluster of cream colored dots, in a set of three each. The self facing  along the zigzag neckline has very nicely done stiff muslin fabric lining, to keep the shape of the edges. That is a nice dress maker touch.

There is ruching along the left seam under the swag, another nice touch. The dress is unlined, and fastens with side metal zipper. In excellent condition. Size medium.
