This stunning Yves Saint Laurent top clearly illustrates his love and fascination with all things gypsy, bohemian and peasant in feel. Made of a semi-transparent silk chiffon that is shot through with fine black lurex thread that runs through the entire fabric and gives it a fantastic metallic glint. The semi sheerness combined with loose and easy cut are a signature Yves nod to sexiness - the top drapes perfectly in place and highlights everything while showing nothing - it is genius. The sleeves are incredible - each is very full above the buttoned cuff so they puff out fantastically. The cut through the body is also full and loose, making it very easy to wear. I love the silk braided cord tassels that tie at the neck and the small ruffle collar that adds the perfect amount of detailing. It is an amazing and dramatic! I did find a photo of it taken in 1977 - see the last picture here. Excellent, appears unworn condition.

Unlined and slips on with a button at each cuff. Tagged a vintage YSL 40 but please check actual measurements.The loose cut will allow it to fit a variety of sizes
