1940s Ceil Chapman Attr. Black Jersey Draped Dress designer-stella-mccartney What I love the most

What I love the most about this Thierry Mugler gown is that the layer underneath the top chiffon layer is done in his signature soft blue colour

The back is constructed with flat pleats that widen as they near the hem to give it lots of volume and movement

Hand finished and very well made

Inner layers of silk retain a girl's modesty
