Pre-Fall 2013 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 65 Black Silk Pleated Dress

The Shrimpton Couture Archives

  • The twin of the dress in an ivory walked the runway for the Pre-fall 2013 Chanel show
  • Under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
  • The show was held in Edinburgh Scotland and had a distinctive reference to the kilt which you see clearly on the bodice detailing on the bodice
  • Lace straps curve over each shoulder and run around the top edge of the bodice
  • The top of the dress has closed pleats that open at the waist and give the skirt the volume and movement that you see
  • On one side of the bust there are little attached buckles with pearl encrusted rectangles
  • The entire hem is edged in another wide panel of the same lace used for the shoulders
  • Where the silk falls under the buckles on the bodice the skirt is open and wraps over itself so when you move or sit a certain way you get a flash of leg. It is exceptional.
  • Unlined and closes with a combination of the buckles at the front and hidden set snaps inside along the waist
  • Tagged a Chanel 42
  • I see a couple of the little faux pearls missing on two of the buckles and a small smudge on the back of the skirt. It otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition.

Bust: 17-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 15" from top of shoulder to waist
Total length: 58" from top of shoulder to hem
