1950s Ceil Chapman sculptural brown silk dress

Description

1950s brown silk Ceil Chapman dress with sculptural draping across the front bodice and shoulders, as well as the hips. Off-the-shoulder design. Piping around the waist. Fitted bust, waist and hip. Fully lined with a brown rayon.

label: Ceil Chapman

condition: as-is. Dress is clean and pressed, but the draping is a little flattened and we removed an amateur alteration that has left wrinkles on the back shoulders. Dress would benefit from a dry cleaning to remove wrinkles and over-pressing. There are traces of the removed stitches where the alteration was removed in back. Some faint water spotting on the back skirt and wear to fabric edges around the shoulders. Contact us for more photos of issues.
