This is really a wonderful interpretation of the classic Greek "goddess" dress and the jersey chosen for the fabric makes it easy to wear and care for

this cut allows it to drape and fold beautifully to create the most interesting shape

I found some reference photos that show that same lace inset technique used on this dress

The sleeves are cut to just past the elbow and each is trimmed with a dyed shave beaver fur that is extremely soft to touch

c1954 Ceil Chapman Strapless Bead & Sequin Silk Dress designer-genny This is really a wonderfulThis beautiful dress was created by Ceil Chapman who is often referred to as Marilyn Monroe's favorite designer. It is so beautiful in person and the level of detail put into the construction is wonderful. The dress is constructed from a blue silk crepe that has a touch of stretch to it which allows the dress to move and mold itself the the wearer. The silk is then covered in swirls of blue glass tube beads mixed with iridescent blue sequins that
