Vintage 1978 Yves Saint Laurent YSL Haute Couture Ivory Print Silk Dress & Shawl

About the Item

Breathtaking Yves Saint Laurent designer dress ensemble from his 1978 Spring/Summer collection. Such a rarity to find all three pieces together! It is insanely chic with "light as a feather" red clover print ivory dotted silk. The bodice has elegant button-shoulder detail and short puff-sleeves. I adore the matching ruffle trim shawl wrap which is a stunning statement piece on it's own. The flattering belted wrap construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. This beautiful ensemble is timeless and classic, yet has its own avant-garde elements. Measurements Bust: 37-38 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 46 inches This vintage Yves Saint Lauren numbered 42072 Haute-Couture ensemble is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working hand-set side metal Eclair zipper. All hand-finished and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value!
