Chanel floral charmeuse dress, 1970s
One advantage of wearing vintage clothing is the choice of a wider range of flattering styles and colors than what is on offer from current designers. Another advantage is price. You can purchase this original vintage Chanel for much less than new designer clothing.
The elegantly simple dress from Chanel is a masterpiece of understated refinement. Fashioned from rich silk charmeuse printed with brilliant flowers, the style is timeless and ladylike.
The black satin hem border and wide black suede belt add a sophisticated touch to the soft, feminine design. The dress is beautifully constructed with self-bound edges on the neckline and sleeves. The seams are finished inside, while the back zipper is sewn in by hand.
Floral prints are again totally au courant. They burst into bloom for the spring collections. From simple sketched sprigs to delicate tea roses, girlish daises, vibrant azaleas, and lush exotic hibiscus, the floral motif is all the rage this year.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The size is marked 10.
It measures: 40" bust, 30" waist, full in the hip, 15 1/2" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, 23 1/2"
sleeve length, and 59" from the shoulder to the hem.
