About the Item

A wonderful addition to any summer wardrobe, this SS1979 runway Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche color block two-pieces can be worn both together and separately. Composed of a vibrant purple dress and a mauve overskirt, both pieces are cut from lightweight silk-chiffon and finished with silk satin edges (used as well for the straps of the dress). The dress closes on the left side with a simple button while the overskirt is tied thanks to the satin silk ribbon. Unlined, this ensemble is accordion-pleated to create a flowy movement when you walk and turn. To emphasize the Greco-Roman inspiration, wear it with minimal sandals ! Fits approx. : US 0-4 / FR 34-36 Measurements (taken flat) : Dress -> Width (armpit to armpit) approx. 39.75 cm (15.6 inches) Length (shoulder to hem) approx. 99.5 cm (39.2 inches) Total length approx. 103 cm (40.6 inches) Overskirt -> Length (waist to hem) approx. 97.2 cm (38.3 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Rich Purple Taffeta Ruffle Skirt Set
By Yves Saint Laurent
Located in London, GB
Well documented, this is an absolutely classic and desirable piece of Yves Saint Laurent evening wear dating from 1978-1983. The designer revisited this look several times during the 70s and 80s and we feel that this is quite possibly an early 80s piece. In a beautiful deep purple hue of silk taffeta, this set has some lavish design details and very generous amounts of fabric in the ruffle collar and deep cuffs. The floor length skirt is full and has an unusual asymmetric ruffle flounce so that no length is equal, juxtaposing the formal blouse element. These ensembles always look great tucked in or accompanied by an original YSL rope...
