About the Item

This dress is so incredibly timeless and chic: exactly the kind of piece you want to invest in, that you'll never tire of wearing. Made by Joseph Magnin in the 1960s, it's made of lustrous silk taffeta fabric, with a nipped waist, full skirt, and bracelet sleeves. I love the sweet lace trim at the V-neck shawl-collar and the cuffs. Joseph Magnin was a high-end speciality department store based in San Francisco, which became a leading US destination for luxury fashion following the second World War. This piece is so well made, as evidenced by the closure , featuring two columns of snaps down the skirt and a hook-and-eye closure at the waist. Measurements: This will best fit a modern size XS-S Shoulders: 14.75" Chest: 36" Waist: 26.5" (hook closures could be adjusted slightly to accomodate more room) Hips: up to 43.5" Sleeves: 22.5" Length: 40" Great vintage condition, with some very minor wear to fabric and trim commensurate with age. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals

1950s Ceil Chapman Black Silk Taffeta Full Circle Dress
By Ceil Chapman
Located in London, GB
This is a brilliant example of Ceil Chapman's early work from the late 1940s to early 1950s and the black taffeta silk design is exquisite. Its the first thing you notice about this dress which has the most unusual construction. The skirt's textured element from a distance looks like a floral design but its actually a large number of circular pleated stitched designs. The way the fabric is pulled and stitched creates an almost 3D effect. We have never seen this work before but it would have taken a very skilled seamstress and an incredible amount of time to do it. The dress style is a classic shirtwaister design with three taffeta covered buttons to fasten the bodice which is beautifully shaped and Princess seamed. The sleeves are three quarter length and feature a folded cuff...
