Oh La La 1950's Ceil Chapman Designer Satin Cocktail Dress (Marilyn Monroe Favorite Designer)

Have you ever wondered who was wearing a vintage piece that you own? I do all of the time, and get so intrigue by the garment itself. I stumbled across a garment that I had no clue that it was from such a great designer of the 40's and the 50's Ceil Chapman who was rumored to be Marilyn Monroe's favorite designer. Ceil was also a personal designer to Elizabeth Taylor and Judy Holiday. These dresses are exquisite in the best way imaginable. From crepe satins, silk, taffeta, and chiffon, you name it you made it. So the dress that caught my eye and is now in my shop is a wonderful black crepe satin mid length cocktail gown from the 50's from none other than Ceil Chapman.

1950's Lace Dress

I had this dress in my goodie collection for over a year now. I don't know why, but I am very attached to it. This dress was in a fashion show and the model looked stunning in it!! I thrifted this dress on one of my visits with my family in South Carolina. When I saw it hanging up I just had to have it, and guess what I can't even fit the dress but it was the point of having a beautiful 1950's cocktail dress. When I glance at this dress I think of Hollywood Glam or the Red Carpet,  it is just so feminine.

don't you just love this darling dress!!!! Will be added very soon to the shop.
