Spring 1983 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Attr. Plunging Silk Jersey Top & Skirt Set promo The skirt is set asymmetrically

The skirt is set asymmetrically and this was the beginning of this detailing that has gone on to become one of their signatures in current collections

It is even better on an actual body and one of the best Trigere pieces I have seen

Inspired by the stellar scene of the 1941 movie Ziegfeld Follies which was based on the incredible series of Broadway musicals of the same name

You can send this out to have it refurbished with Chanel or a specialist and it would double in value and look brand new or wear it with its current patina and the vintage charm it has

Both pieces wrap to close - the jacket is secured with the tie belt and the skirt closes along the waist with buttons and a flat hook & eye

Spring 1983 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Attr. Plunging Silk Jersey Top & Skirt Set promo The skirt is set asymmetricallyThis was sold to me and dated as an unlabeled Yves Saint Laurent skirt and top set from the 1982 or 1983 seasons. While we did not find a photo of this exact version we did find a photo from the ready to wear collection that shows a similar draping technique around the waist and I found his sketch of a dress from the Spring 1983 that is similar in feel. I have included a photo of the inner seams so you can see the Haute Couture level of workmanship.
