Yves Saint Laurent 1970s Black Silk Jersey Two Piece Suit

This elegant Yves Saint Laurent Circa 1974 black silk jersey two piece suit would lend itself effortlessly to both formal occasion wear and to evening wear. The simple lines of this gorgeous set create a classic silhouette whilst the generous silk jersey fabric has a lovely movement and weight. The ankle length skirt has a central zip fastening at the reverse, where there is an additional 2 inches extra length for a subtle train effect. The waistband and upper part of the skirt is beautifully fitted to show off the hip area, before flaring out at the lower thigh into a glamorous floor sweeping bell. The blouse is long sleeved and features a wrap-around detail at the waist which is secured with a lengthly tie to the left of the dress - this forms a V neck which is revealing but not immodest. A large peplum frill of jersey below the waistline of the blouse is a lovely feminine feature to consolidate the overall feel of the piece. The set is in excellent condition with no notable flaws and would best suit US size 2 - 4, UK size 6-8. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm) and this fit her well.
