This is the kind of dress that the house of Chanel really excels at with its understated elegance and beautiful lines. The fabric is a soft dove grey and the fabric has an almost subtle angora feel to it, but it is actually a combination of wool and silk thread. I imagine that it is a fabric that Chanel had made solely for them as most of their fabric are. The dress was a touch too large on my mannequin so in real life will sit a little better on a girl who is the correct size for the dress. I love the flat pleat work that adorns the front bodice and the classic Chanel pockets that sit on both sides of  the bodice and are placed on each hip. The dress is finished with a deep red pipe detail that gives it a pop of color and highlight the lines of the dress. It has a flattering cut with a bit of a dropped waist that harkens back to the early days of Chanel. Finished with 14 logo embossed gold toned metal buttons that are each signed. Excellent condition

The bodice and sleeves are unlined and the skirt has a silver tissue silk lining. Closes with the buttons at the front as seen and a button closes each cuff. Tagged a 44 but please check actual measurements.
