Model in video is US Size 6 and 5’8 feet tall Measurements (flexible fit due to silhouette): Bust: up to 44 inches Waist: up to 44 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 39.5 inches A striking and unmistakable Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche runway piece from the Fall 1988 collection—an era where bold color, rich pattern, and effortless volume ruled the silhouette. This vibrant red silk dress features an inky black rose print with bursts of golden yellow, echoing the exact textile seen on the runway look. The design embodies that signature late-80s YSL ease: a softly bloused bodice, relaxed through the body, with a subtly tapered skirt that creates shape without restriction. The dramatic tie-neck detail is the quiet star here—it can be styled multiple ways depending on mood and moment: tied in a bow for polish, draped loose for a nonchalant feel, wrapped once for a scarf-like effect, or even tucked for a cleaner neckline. The voluminous sleeves with gathered cuffs add movement and presence, while the inclusion of pockets brings that rare and coveted blend of glamour and practicality. Runway Note: This exact print appeared on the Fall 1988 runway, styled with a YSL black alligator / croc embossed statement belt from the same collection. While the belt is not included in this listing, it is from the same collection and available separately—an incredible opportunity for a collector to recreate the full runway moment. ⸻ Measurements (flexible fit due to silhouette): Bust: up to 44 inches Waist: up to 44 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 39.5 inches Marked size 38, but the cut allows it to comfortably accommodate a range of sizes. ⸻ Styling & Occasions: This is one of those rare pieces that shape-shifts depending on styling: * Cinch it with a wide belt for a strong, runway-inspired power look * Wear it loose with heels for gallery openings, dinners, or cocktail events * Add tights and boots for a polished daytime city look * Style with flats or sandals for a chic resort or vacation statement * Layer under a tailored coat with the tie peeking out for a dramatic fall ensemble From daytime sophistication to evening presence, this dress moves effortlessly between worlds. ⸻ A true collector’s Yves Saint Laurent piece—rich in color, grounded in history, and endlessly versatile.
