1999 Yves Saint Laurent Black Feather Wrap Dress

This elegant Yves Saint Laurent black jersey dress is from the autumn/ winter 1999 collection and designed by Alber Elbaz. He briefly worked for the House having replaced the eponymous founder upon is retirement from designing the Rive Gauche collections. Saint Laurent himself continued to design only the haute couture collections until 2002.

The dress would lend itself effortlessly to formal occasions and the simple lines create a classic and sleek silhouette. The high quality silk/nylon/acetate jersey blend fabric has a lovely movement and weight to it. This long sleeved design features a wrap-around detail at the waist which is secured with a clasp to the right of the dress - this forms a V neck which is revealing but not immodest. The V neck created by the wrap of the dress is lined with a beautiful feather boa down to the hem that creates a playful and dramatic effect. In excellent condition with no notable flaws. Labelled a French 36, would best suit US size 4, UK size 8. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163cm) and this dress fit her well.
