Flattering Chanel suit set, jacket and skirt from Chanel's famous 05A, 2005 Fall collection.
It has a textured fabric, short fringe trim, jewelry length sleeves and short boxy jacket. The skirt is very flattering with sewn down pleats from the waistline down 6 1/2", the rest of the skirt is overlapping 1 1/2" pleats. The color is dark navy and white. Chanel's dark navy is so dark it can sometimes look like black. There are 12 Chanel decorative buttons, 6 on each side of the front opening. There are no button or holes, it is meant to hang open. It has 2 decorative faux flap fringe trimmed pockets on the lower front.
The skirt has a metal oval with "CC" on the center and 2 rows of tiny chain around the edge, similar to the jacket buttons but oval instead of round. Both pieces are fully lined.
Shown with a sleeveless Chanel Crepe Silk Crinkle fabric blouse and a Chanel leather camellia necklace/bracelet, sold under “Shop All”.
