No, it's not Chanel or St. John... just has the look of either or both. Should I say that again to make sure you know what you are buying? It's a no-name suit that will make you look like you are wealthy! :) Black santana knit. The gold braid trim is just sewn on. Goldtone buttons are nicely carved. Elastic skirt is designed with large "pleats". Measures: 35" bust, 28"-37" waist elastic skirt, up to 39" hips best, 22" long skirt. Small shoulder pads. Excellent condition with the only issue being white underarm residue inside only. Should dry-clean out. NEW LISTING!
