Exceptional two-piece Chanel Haute Couture ensemble from 1979, composed of a floor-length sleeveless gown and a matching long coat. Crafted in a soft ivory silk, the set features exquisite hand-applied sequins in silver and white, forming a dramatic bow motif at the neckline of the dress and coordinating embellishment along the coat collar and cuffs. A striking archival piece showcasing the refined glamour of late-1970s Chanel couture.

The gown drapes beautifully with fluid movement and a long, elongating silhouette. The coat is lightweight and soft, designed to be worn open, creating an elegant layered look. Both pieces carry hand-written couture tags.

A rare collector’s find, ideal for red carpet styling, bridal fashion, editorial, or museum acquisition.
