Everything You Need to Know About CHANEL Women's Dresses

Whether you’re looking for a dress for work or an evening event, CHANEL has you covered. This designer brand is known for its well-made, high-end women’s clothing. Since CHANEL women’s dresses often come with a high price tag, buying on eBay is a great way to enjoy the brand’s legendary quality for less.

Are all CHANEL dresses created equal?

No. CHANEL women’s wear is divided into two categories. The first type are dresses that are created ready-to-wear. These dresses are conceived by CHANEL’s team of designers and crafted by the brand’s factories across Europe. Ready-to-wear dresses are produced in high-volume runs and sold in a wide variety of sizes. The second category is haute couture. These custom-fitted CHANEL dresses are designed for a specific customer and made by hand, usually in the brand’s Paris locations. They are considerably more expensive than ready to wear pieces. Used CHANEL women’s dresses from the brand’s haute couture studio are a valuable find.

Available shapes for CHANEL dresses

Some of the more popular dress shapes and styles that CHANEL makes are:

  • Skirt suit - One of CHANEL’s most iconic dress styles is the skirt suit, which includes a jacket and a fitted skirt. Versions of this suit have been in production for decades.
  • Shift - The shift dress is one of CHANEL’s classic shapes. It features a bodice and skirt that drop straight down from the shoulders, skimming your curves and allowing room to move. CHANEL has been making shift dresses since they became fashionable in the 1960s.
  • Fit and flare - These dresses feature fitted bodices and skirts that flare out from the waist. On CHANEL versions, the skirt is often very full; this is particularly true for the brand’s vintage pieces, which usually come with crinolines under the skirt for extra volume.
Distinctive styling details to look for on CHANEL women’s dresses

For fashionistas, the design details on CHANEL women's clothing items are instantly recognizable. Some of the available options to look for on eBay are:

  • Tweed - CHANEL is known for its use of high-end tweed, particularly in its skirt suits. This material was first used on CHANEL women's wear in 1924 and features a textured surface and a distinctive, slightly irregular look.
  • Sheer overlays - Many CHANEL women's evening gowns feature sheer overlays that are often accented with beading, feathers, or other embellishments.
  • Ruffles - Ruffles are a common accent on CHANEL women's cocktail dresses and evening dresses. Often, these ruffles are used to create dramatic volume on the sleeves or skirt.
