These were THE thing to own in the 1970's - no one had seen this fabric before and they were all the rage

I love the skirt with its flowing fabric to the floor

Note the gown is cut on the bias so the measurements are a reflection of that - it will drape into place

On this one the pattern has a deco feel with large diamond shapes and finished edges

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Print Challis Dress designer-zandra-rhodes These were THE thing toThis is a classic YSL silhouette. A high ruffled neck and attached tie sit atop a full smocked shape. The sleeves are tremendously full above a wide buttoned cuff. You can cinch it in as shown with the original tie belt or wear loose and full. The upper shoulders are lined and the rest left unlined. The closer you get the more you realize how brilliant the print really is! No flaws. Shoulders: 14" Sleeves: 25" Bust: 19. 5" flat across from side seam
