1960s Applique Organza & Linen Dress designer-chanel The bag is completely lined

The bag is completely lined in a black finely ribbed textured rayon

All the beads are glass and to give you an idea of the extent of work - both pieces weigh just a touch under 5lbs

The ruffles go all the way around the neck and down and around the hem with panels set under to give the illusion that these overlay an inner dress

The shoulder has extensive stitching so that it has a ruched and gathered feel and the embroidered patterns run in bold panels down each arm and through the dress

1960s Applique Organza & Linen Dress designer-chanel The bag is completely linedThis dress is amazing! It was never worn so is in perfect, just off the rack condition. Made of a baby blue linen the cut is perfection through the body and the A line skirt. It has a bit of a sculpted feel to it and I love how the waist nips in but there is no seam there to break the lines of the dress. If the skirt is a study in simplicity the bodice is an intricate and beautiful example of applique work. Shell like applique wraps around the bodice
