Too much underground is boring and too much upper class is boring. You have to be right on the edge.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is a rare and early piece of documented Chanel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of a double layer of a black silk chiffon that has a bit of a crepe feel to its finish. The sleeves are a single layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline scoops across the front and the front skims over you to the waist which is cut more on the generous side. The sleeves are a single panel of chiffon that are open along the bottom edge and drape over the upper arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the back is cut into a low open plunge for an expanse of bare skin to show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt skims over the waist and hips and then the bottom skirt has panels built along each side to mimic the feel of the sleeves.
