1950s Ceil Chapman Silk Brocade Gown designer-hermes The seams are all finished

The seams are all finished and almost imperceptible but are placed so that the cut is just perfect

Each pocket is lined in the same high grade silk

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

The fabric is a silk dupioni in a beautiful cream color that has a touch of a gold hue to it

1950s Ceil Chapman Silk Brocade Gown designer-hermes The seams are all finishedOddly 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
