This is a timeless Ceil Chapman black silk chiffon cocktail dress, beautifully designed with the brand's signature attention to feminine draping and soft structure. Elegant and flattering, this piece captures the refined glamour of 1950's style. The bodice features ruched layers that cross each other in a wrap-style down the waist to the high hip. The sides of the bodice are gently boned on either side of the ribcage, ending above the natural waist. This classic Chapman design element does wonders for the waist! The skirt begins at the high hip and seamlessly flows into the diaphanous skirt. The skirt is composed of two airy layers of sheer black silk chiffon and an inner layer of a matte black silk. This soft volume adds a graceful movement that flows with every step. Finished with a zipper closure at the back. This dress is a true mid-century gem.
In great vintage condition.
