• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1987 collection.
• Made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• The dress is made from a black silk faille base and then the upper part of the dress is covered in a layer of black net detailed with little dots.
• The ruffle that goes around the hip is in the same fabric as the base and then it was dyed to the coral orange colour that you see. The inner skirt under the ruffle is made from the black silk faille.
• This choice in fabric gives the dress its structure and shape and also allows for the volume that you see in the ruffle detailing that wraps around the waist and hips.
• The bodice is strapless and is lightly boned on the inside for shape. It skims over the waist and curves back out for the hips.
• The ruffle is the star of the show and makes a wonderful impact. The ruffle flare outwards from the body to create a more full shape.
• Fully lined in a black silk and closes with a side set zipper. The bodice is lightly boned and shaped. An inner waist stay hooks to close.
