In the oversized photo portfolio for the 1997 Chanel Cruise Collection there is an all black version of this dress shown on the last page where the entire collection is shown in thumbnails. It was only produced in black and in this white for the shops as far as I am aware. Karl Lagerfeld shot the entire collection himself for the portfolio and ad campaign that year using only model Guinevere Van Seenus. That same shot was also used for the Chanel ad campaign that year. This makes this dress an extra wonderful little piece of Chanel's history. It is so rare to find any information on the earlier cruise collections and I was very pleased to have found these photos for this dress.

Besides its fascinating history the dress is gorgeous. It is made out of a crisp white fabric that has a very fine waffle weave texture running over it. This little added texture elevates the white and gives it a slightly nautical feel. The dress slips on and buttons down the front to close, overlapping and then closing with the double row of buttons. I love how each button is engraved with the CC logo and is done in a matching white. The collar is large and oversized. It is cut on a graceful curve that sits wide over the tops of the shoulder but leaves the arms bare. The bodice is meant to skim over you to the waist. The waist is brought in through vertical seaming so it is accented but without it being too fitted and tight. It skims over the hips and then gently widens out as it nears the hem. A bit of an opening is left between the hem and the last button. You can see in the ad shot how this allows your leg to show when you sit and it would do the same to a lesser degree when you walk. The back is scooped low to reveal a bare expanse of skin that peeks out from under the collar. It is a gorgeous piece and a wonderful example of Karl's earlier work. This would make an amazing piece to work into a wedding weekend, to take on a vacation, or simpler to wear to look fresh and chic on a bright sunny day. Great condition with a minor note below. 

Fully lined in a white silk that has little double cc embossed throughout. It buttons to close as described above. Tagged a Chanel 38. This dress has an easy soft feel to it. The fabric has softened a touch and it has some press marks on the seams. It is still in amazing condition but priced far lower then it would be otherwise. A slight scuffing here and there and very slight grubbiness here and there. All very minor

Amazon Essentials competes well with other store brands
Very Nice and comfortable shirt, on the thicker side and is slightly blue, baby blue perfect in fall winter might be a little thick for summer. the buttons and stitching all seem well done for the price. The size was true and fit great, the big tall size worked great, the shirt does not seem to wrinkle easily since it is thicker

Really great shirt, really thick material
An unexpected pleasant surprise. Really nice quality, minimal shrinkage, and very few wrinkles out of the dryer. Nice, comfortable fit, and for big-but-not-tall guys, the fitment is very presentable. Sleeves aren't crazy long, and the shirt itself isn't so long that you feel like you're wearing a dress. These aren't complaints, but I do want to share two notes that were important to me: 1. If you want a breast pocket, be sure to select the right shirt. There are two different versions, and it's not particularly obvious which is which. 2. The material is thick. Really thick. So the shirt is pretty heavy, and it doesn't breathe very well. For me, this is unquestionably a winter shirt. If, like me, you tend to run a bit warm, this shirt can make you feel like you're wearing a parka.

Great Value from Amazon Essentials
I can’t believe the quality of this shirt given the low price I paid for it. It fits perfectly, looks impressive, and is very comfortable. The shirt has survived two washes so far and looks as good as new. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this purchase.

Too large, length too long
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Runs large, and the length is far too long to wear untucked like in the photos. Always wear a Medium, this fits like a Large. Length of shirt is long and obviously made to be tucked in. You would look ridiculous if you left it untucked. Dont understand why companies still insist on designing shirt to be tucked in when most people dont wear it like that these days
