Documented Spring 1986 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Black Jersey Plunge Dress designer-jean-paul-gaultier Bust: no true side seams

Bust: no true side seams and should fit most busts

The fabric choice also has the added bonus of making them easy to wear and care for

A very special piece and worthy of its book noted provenance

I love that the bottom edge of the lace follows the curving shape of the design that is in the lace

It is absolutely incredible and a real work of art

Documented Spring 1986 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Black Jersey Plunge Dress designer-jean-paul-gaultier Bust: no true side seamsThis fabulous dress is the twin of the dress that walked the Spring 1986 Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche runway. I was so pleased to find some shots of it on because it really shows you just how much it comes to life when worn. On the runway Yves put a short curved cropped bolero over it for part of the walk. An interesting thing to note about this dress is that it is a version of the 1973 plunge dress that I have shared on my Instagram in the past.
