Chanel’s Spring Line

I’m completely in love with Chanel’s 2006 spring couture line! Unfortunately, I can’t afford to do anything but look at it.
There are fantastic tailored suits! I love the details and unique shapes. The jacket on this white skirt suit is so pretty and so flattering! I think one of the things I like about this line is that everything has a classic quality to it, but is trimmed with unique outside-the-box details that make it completely Chanel.
This white dress may be my favourite piece from the line. I love the flared skirt and fitted waist (I love that shape) and the details are so great! I love the chain pattern on the dress and the chain trim over the arm. The details are great and the shape just makes it perfect! I would love to own this dress.
The evening gowns are really pretty too. None stood out to me like the suit and dress above did, but there were some wonderful pieces there. Chanel did a brilliant job on this collection! I can’t even believe how much this line appeals to me - there is almost nothing in it that I wouldn’t wear in an instant!

It’s a neat line. Very well crafted and pretty, but I’ve never been a huge fan of Chanel. I think it’s because while the lines are clean, I do like things a little more messy at times. I can’t name designers I like (because I’m an uncultured lout), but I can totally see the suit and dress on you. It’d be really cute too.

That first dress you picked out is quite pretty. ^_^
Since you have a dress form now, you could craft many of these clothes for yourself (though you would have to learn tailoring in the process). I’m pretty sure the only hard part on that dress would be the collar.
Did I remember to lend you my drapeing book?
If not remind me and I’ll try to pass it off to Michael on Tuesday.
