  • Hip: 38
  • Shoulder: 15
  • Sleeve: 23

Condition:  Va-va-voom! Slinky brown rayon dress with attached blet and gathered hip swag. Side metal zip. Home sewn. Lone fault with this garmet is that at the bottom of the neckline V it has torn about 1/2 inch. I think it is repairable if you have talent as a seamstress. No holes, pulls or pitty stains. Solid in fabric and construction!


Black Rayon Dress with Pink Contrast
Item Number: DRESS1943005

  • Hip: 38
  • Shoulder: 16
  • Back of Neck to Waistline: 16
  • Waist to Hem: 30.5
  • Lower Width: 70
  • Tag: None
Condition:  Look out -- I covet this dress despite it not being my size! Made of black rayon with hot pink linen button holes decorating the bodice and pocket. Also is the contrast on the sleeve cuffs. There are fancy buttons, the three on the bodice are perfect, but the three on the pocket need work and one is missing. Aside from the button issue I did find one small reddish mark on the back of the neckline right on the seam fold. Not going to be seen when wearing the dress. Don't miss this one!!!

Condition:  Va-va-va-vooom baby! Let this lovely black rayon crepe hug your curves. The bust is decorated with teal and black striped rayon. Dress is a slip on stlye and adjustable with the attached belt. Might be a maternity dress. The collar has four small brown spots on the teal stripes -- baby spew? I don't know. Hopefully a dry cleaning will take care of that. No holes or fades or other issues with the dress aside from the four spots. Grab this beauty before its gone!

  • Back of Neck to Hem: 42

Condition:  Stunning black wool crepe swing coat with wide pleated sleeves and open front. No holes or pulls in the wool, the main fault is that the bakelite clasps at the neckline are rough. The metal tabs are missing for the closure and both leaves are holding on by one loop (the other sides broke off) I suggest replacing the clasp with something else. Lined in satin, plain black. Homesewn. No holes, pulls or spots. Solid fabric and great construction.

Condition:  I love love love this dress, and yer in luck 'cause it does not fit me. Made of black rayon crepe, dress has back buttons and a bird of paradise sequined motif on the front. And yes, it really is a Ceil Chapman, and I'm the dope who had no idea it was until the other night! No holes or pulls in the fabric, the very last sequined leaf on the motif near the waist seam is pulling away from the dress. I'm not going to mess with it.
