Very unusual construction

There is no label on this but the level of work and construction hints that it may well have been either a custom or designer piece that has sadly lost its label at some point

The gown is lined in a white silk organza and closes at the bodice with fabric covered buttons and at the waist with hook & eye

The front and the back dip quite low and there is a little piece of hand made lace sewn into each dip as a modesty panel - allowing you to wear this on its own if you wish

1980s Yves Saint Laurent Plaid Challis Set designer-john-galliano Very unusual constructionThis is a classic YSL silhouette created with a top and skirt in similar but slightly contrasting printed. The top is constructed form a fine challis and is kept simple and chic. A single pocket on one side. neat collar and buttoned cuffs. The skirt is a take on the classic wrapped and pleated school girl and is also made of a fine challis. Love the muted tones and contrasting plaids. Versatile and wonderful! No flaws.
