WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, THERE'S ALWAYS CHANEL HAUTE COUTURE

We always post vintage Chanel Haute Couture dresses and gowns and they always sell so fast. This Coco Chanel designed layered metallic dress on chiffon is a classic 1960s silhouette: thin tank straps that attach to a fitted shift with a grosgrain band and bow at the waist. The gold metallic is woven with a faint paisley motif.

As many of our astute blog readers must know, contemporary Chanel Haute Couture is very prohibitive price-wise, so owning a piece designed by Coco Chanel should be priceless but it's surprisingly affordable compared to Karl Lagerfeld's Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear designs for Chanel today. Own a piece of history and a dress that will impress!
