GET YOUR 1983 CHANEL ON!

Can we ever post enough Chanel to satiate our ever adoring blog readers? Here is one from 1983 and the very start Karl Lagerfeld's tenure at Chanel. It's Chanel Boutique, not Couture, but the gorgeous embroidery of silver and gold is Couture-worthy. It's a two piece ensemble. An over-sized tee that buttons up the back with over sized short sleeve cuffs. The skirt has a classic waist band with two front pockets and matching splatter of silver and gold sequins. We are always mad for two piece ensembles. The tee shirt could be worn with slim back pants and the skirt with a cashmere turtleneck. So many possibilities.

We've shown the Chanel ensemble with a brand new Celia Birtwell designer chair in Lucite. We love Celia's distinctive patterns and prints and the chairs are available through Decades at $2250 with a 4 - 6 week delivery estimate.

Chanel Boutique A/W 1983 cream crepe two piece embroidered evening ensemble. SOLD

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING

After you've had a ball, maybe you might want to try "A Grand Night for Singing" and there is something about this gem colored satin Bill Blass dress from the early 1990s that warrants a song and maybe a dance, too? The corset effect of the dress if very flattering to the bust and waist line and we love the dramatic pleated back with contrast colored vertically draped fabric. It's also a fantastic dress for jewels, so get out the family jewels and have fun singing, dancing, and being fabulous in this gown.
