1970s Yves Saint Laurent Velvet Gown & Belt designer-loris-azzaro Item# S389

Item# S389

5-15" flat across from side seam to side seam

Love the notched collar

The body of the gown is a mix of a black slipper satin with a front panel inset of silk taffeta in a bright mix of happy colors

Under neath are weights so it drapes perfectly and the entire piece is all hand done

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Velvet Gown & Belt designer-loris-azzaro Item# S389We are so pleased to see velvet making an appearance on both the runways and red carpets again! It really is an insanely fabulous fabric and oft over looked. This is a beautiful gown that has its original velvet belt with a silk tie. I love that you can wear the belt with the ties at the front or the back. The skirt of the gown has unexpected volume. This is created by a large, soft pleat in the front for extra volume on the lower half of the skirt.
