Lanvin 1970s Haute Couture Skirt & Cape z-archive-reds The lightness of the silk

The lightness of the silk chiffon that she chose for the fabric gives the jacket a delicate & feminine feel to it

This means the entire dress has this incredible glint in the light which adds a completely different dimension to the classic Chanel fabric

I love how some of the crochet has a ribbon woven through it and the scalloping detail that sits at the end of each cuff and around the hem

It has no collar and the front plunges quite low with a hidden hook along the neckline to hold it perfectly in place
