Coco Chanel 

This 1930s evening dress was designed by Coco Chanel.  It is significant because is marks a departure from  her designs of the 1920s which were more sporty and androgynous. This dress is typical of the dresses of the early 1930s, which were tight fitting, showing off every curve, unlike the boxy silhouette of the 1920s. During this time most evening gowns were sleeveless with a low neckline or back.
