1950s Ceil Chapman Silk Brocade Gown designer-hermes Each pocket is lined in

Each pocket is lined in the same high grade silk

It is the classic Chanel boucle that upon close inspection is actually a mix of a pink wool

All the seams and fabric are bias cut

It also appears to have not been worn and is excellent condition so it is like buying a piece for a time capsule

Perhaps the very occasional sequin missing but no bare spots or issues

1950s Ceil Chapman Silk Brocade Gown designer-hermes Each pocket is lined inOddly I just had what would have been the sister to this gown a few weeks ago same fabric but with a slightly different bust! I absolutely love the color of this piece it's a rich combination of a silk peach base with a swirling design of gold and silver delicately woven through the fabric. The cut is fairly simple with no sleeves and a scooped neckline. The waist nips in and the skirt is set with spaced inverted pleating so you don't get any bulk
