It is like wearing an entire bouquet of flowers in the best possible way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bust angles on a slight curve up to a wide gathered strap that curves over the shoulder to become a part of the back where it angles softly back down to the side. This leaves the other shoulder bare and exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe inner dress drapes and skims over the bust and curves in at the waist to a seam. From there it curves back out over the the hips.This gives is a slightly more generous feel through the waist so it is easier to fit. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is an attached panel of fabric at the front waist that loops around and then wraps all the way back around you to attach along the front of the neckline. At the back it snaps into place over a hidden set zipper slightly off to the side. At the front it snaps into place under the arm and then it is attached to the shoulder on the other side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis panel is what gives the dress is extraordinary beauty. The panel that is attached to the shoulder curves and cascades over the arm and all the way down the body. As the panel falls down the side of the body it extends well past the hem to create a training affect around you. You can also loop this panel more over your arm to bring it up and off the floor. You can see that in the runway photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn one side of the skirt there is a high side slit so that when you move or sit you get a flash of bare leg and it also allows you to walk.. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe way that this is all laid out and attached is a nod to a sarong but at the same time it feel so elevated and chic. It is absolutely the most flattering dress once on the body. This is a true YSL masterpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in matching nude silk chiffon through the upper bodice and then the rest of the dress is lined in a deep blue silk chiffon. It closes with a hidden offset back zipper. The lining is partially set by hand. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a vintage YSL 38 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: to 17\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 14\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 58\" from top of shoulder to hem and the slit is 23\" from the hem up.
