About the Item
This 1950s black taffeta ball dress by quality British brand Blanes, is perfect for a black or white tie event. It has ribbon work appliqué around the folded square neckline and bottom hemline, with a fitted, Princess seamed bodice and full skirt. The top section of the dress is carefully boned internally in black muslin cotton to create a flattering, nipped in silhouette - very typical of the era. The embroidery and ribbon-work is comprised of soft pink stylised English roses, each with red gemstone detail to the centre and green leaves to the outer edges. The front lower section of the dress has a larger rose design, with a deep flounce to the bottom of the skirt and the heavy pleating gives an amazing sense of volume and movement when worn. It fastens at the rear with the original metal zip, concealed by a placket.
Made up of a lovely soft black faille material, it is very comfortable for the wearer and would best fit around a UK 10-12, or US size 6-8. It is in very good vintage condition overall; if we are being picky, some of the ribbon petals are looking a little bit tired and tinged with minor discoloration but it does not detract from the beauty and impact of the overall garment.

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...
