This Chanel dress is wonderful. The cut is simple and classic and will easily work for day or evening. It is made from a soft black and white, lightweight stretch knit that has a gingham print feel. The fabric is light in weight but with enough substance to hold the shape and give it the wonderful drape through the skirt that you see. It has a bit of a seventies feel to it with its ruffle edges and full length through the skirt but it is a more modern piece. The bodice of the dress is suspended by straps in the same fabric that curve over each shoulder. The edge of the bodice and the waist are finished in a 'ruffled' feeling trim that is also made from the same fabric. Under this, the skirt skims over the hips and then falls to the floor and gently widens out as it nears the hem. The bottom hem has a wide panel that flares out more and is set into the skirt and also finished with trimming . The skirt is quite full and the dress moves wonderfully around you when it is on. The double C logo sits on the waist on one side. The construction is immaculate. Excellent condition.

The bodice has a double layer of the same fabric acting as its lining and it zips to close at the side with a hidden set zipper. The fabric does have some stretch. It is tagged a Chanel 38
