Just another reason why I love Chanel! If this dress was described to me... nude... backless... cut-out sides... dripping with pearls... I would think cheap, tacky and a little tasteless, but Chanel has managed to turn all of these things into a stunning, and might I even add classy, couture dress. It is everything I would never wear, so I even surprised myself when I was dying for it the moment I saw it. I don't know how Chanel does it, but they can turn anything into pure class.
