Exceptional Spring 1984 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Strapless Purple & Green Silk Organza Dress designer-chanel It buttons down the front

It buttons down the front with rounded black glossy buttons and when done up has this great swing feel to it - like a military great coat but done as a cape

This was sold to me as a custom piece that he did for a client

Bust: 18-22" flat across the back from side seam to side seam

None of this detracts and I am being very picky

The velvet straps close with a hook & eye at the top of the shoulder

Exceptional Spring 1984 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Strapless Purple & Green Silk Organza Dress designer-chanel It buttons down the frontThis is one of my favorites dresses that Yves ever made. I just had one in the shop and I was super excited to find another so soon because that definitely does not happen often. It is the twin of the runway piece that season and I have included multiple shots of it on the runway that season. I love having these so that you can get an idea of how great it is on the body and the movement that it has. The twin of this dress was also photoed by David
