Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1987 Haute Couture Raffia Dress z-archive-1980s Bust: no true seems but

Bust: no true seems but will cover up to 15" across

It is cut to skim over the body and fall softly over the hips where it widens out

Kelly only designed for a 5 year time period but his designs still have an impact now

You can see the work of the Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell team in the cut of this dress and fabric choice

It is almost impossible to photo on a dress form. Please reference the runway photos for how it will sit on a body. It's made out of raffia and has a sense of transparency to it because it has no lining Reference Photos: (1 2) S S 1987 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Runway Show.
