Florals and Yves Saint Laurent were always the perfect combination and in this darling little silk fine light silk dress that is shown to its best! Over a black back drop are a riot of multi-colored, bright and bold flowers strewn over its surface. This is one of his most iconic prints and I love it! The cut is all Yves as well - the dress has high set shoulders and fabulously wide sleeves that puff out above the elbow. The bodice has a angled neckline and gathers at the bust. From there is skims over the torso with a full cut through the waist and then the skirt flares out in the prettiest of ways. You can wear it lose and easy or cinch in the waist with a belt. Like the infamous "Scandalous" haute couture collection of Spring 1971, this is a nod to the dresses of the 1940s but done in that perfect YSL style that is all its own. It is perfection. Excellent, appears unworn condition
