The use of chain references a detail long associated with Chanel: Gabrielle Chanel famously weighted the hems of her jackets with fine chain so they would hang correctly. Here, Lagerfeld brings that detail to the outside of the dress. The skirt has a long side slit. The side of the dress fastens with a row of gold Chanel buttons, which are concealed beneath a pleated chiffon ruffle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavy silk pleated chiffon dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpagjetti straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix gold-tone chains wrapping the bodice and hips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in boned corset with stays at the waist and under the bust, fastening with hooks and a zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide closure with concealed buttons beneath a horizontally pleated chiffon ruffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative gold-tone buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide slit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs seen on the Spring\/Summer 1988 runway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabelled size FR 42 (Please refer to measurements for accurate fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements are taken with the garment laid flat:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest 41cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist 36cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 135cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chanel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58550782558552,"sku":"C-0370","price":5125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/6081\/8776\/files\/EcomAug8059.jpg?v=1790765762","url":"https:\/\/epoquecouture.com\/products\/chanel-navy-pleated-silk-chiffon-chain-dress-by-karl-lagerfeld-ss-1988","provider":"Epoque Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
