ID: 0317253

Size: small

Condition: excellent

A highly coveted and absolutely gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent haute couture watercolor floral print silk garden gown from his beloved 1972 spring-summer collection. This documented runway look is so insanely chic and the dress retains a beautiful structure that speaks to its couture craftsmanship. The fabric is a luxurious light-weight silk taffeta in a striking blue, green and red watercolor floral pattern that really pops against the deep black backdrop. I adore the sophisticated touch of French cufflinks at the end of the long sleeves paired with a removable white cotton piqué collar. The bodice is expertly clasped with front buttons and slightly-puffed shoulders. Additionally, a flattering built-in belt cinches the waist, further accentuating the figure while enhancing the gown’s elegant silhouette. The skirt is lined in a rich ruby-red taffeta, creating marvelous movement. This stunning creation is pure Yves Saint Laurent—timeless, classic, yet undeniably bold in its artistry. An unforgettable piece of true haute couture fashion history from the most copied designer of all time.
