Exceptional Spring 1997 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Pink Velvet Sequin Dress z-archive-christianlacroix Pre-death black patent platform pumps

Pre-death black patent platform pumps with gold toe cap and pink soles

Both the dress and matching jacket are finished to Haute Couture standards and it is maddening to not have a label to know who designed this

The top and shorts are fully lined in a black silky rayon and the skirt is unlined and is partially transparent

Fully lined in a black silk and closes with a back zipper and hook & eye at the back neck

It has no true closures and I added a long black grosgrain ribbon so you can see how pretty it is belted
