1950s Pink Brocade Ceil Chapman Gown Accessories and Separates A notched collar and button

A notched collar and button front add lots of detail to the already fabulous seaming and paneling

This fabric takes color so well and it really allows for the rich tones

This version of the dress is quite stunning and the simple design belies a masterful cut

I love the that this one has such sleek lines and is so seventies in feel - the collar is bold and big and the cut long and lean

I love the back detail with the buttons at the edge of the back hem

1950s Pink Brocade Ceil Chapman Gown Accessories and Separates A notched collar and buttonI absolutely love the color of this piece it's a beautiful combination of three shades of pink with a swirling design in gold thread delicately woven through the fabric. That gives it a subtle glow and really highlights and showcases the design of the fabric. The cut is fairly simple with long sleeves and a notched neckline. The waist nips in and the skirt is set into the waist with soft gathers at the top, done so that you don't get any bulk around
