The exterior silk is a feather light chiffon and this is placed over a soft pink silk interior. The bodice is hand draped and stitched into place you can clearly see the hand work form the other side. The neck dips in a V, as does the back, and both sides are pleated as only Ceil Chapman dresses are! The skirt swings out from the nipped in waist. It is absolute perfection from the shoulders to the edges of its hand rolled skirt hem! Extremely pretty and romantic. Excellent condition
