Besides being seen on the runway one was famously shot by Helmet Newton for Vogue and it appeared in another editorial that season as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress combines a black crepe skirt with a pink textured fabric, bought us and then a brilliant blue textured fabric piece that wraps around the hips and trails down one side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love that we have referenced photos of this one because it truly transforms once on the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pink of the top has heavy texture running through it. It is gathered into a wide strap across the top of the shoulder, and then extends down on an angle under the arm on the other side. It's all gathered into the top of the shoulder, and this creates the fantastic drape that you see running across on both the front of the bodice and the back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe seam where it meets, the black skirt is set on an angle that runs almost perfectly opposite to the angle of the neck line. It runs down to about the top of the hip on one side and then angles down to about mid hip on the other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder that is a lightweight black skirt that continues to curve over the hips and then expands out for the lower skirt. There's quite a bit of fabric at the lower skirt so it has beautiful movement when you move and the back is cut a touch longer for a perfect little sweet behind you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround the waist is a brilliant, deep, turquoise panel of fabric. This wraps around you and then comes back to hook into place at the hip where the ties start. I love how you can expand the fabric quite full over your hip on the one side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ties continue down the side of the skirt and they are quite wide. They add to the movement the dress has when you move and add an unexpected bit of glamour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love the almost startling combination of the three colours. It is a fantastic example of his work during this era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is online and closes with a side, set, zipper, and hook an eye above that. The sash wrapped around the hips and hooks into place. The top and waist have a more bias cut feel, and I've put the range of measurements for those below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake a vintage YSL 38\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBust: 16-18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 14-16\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 59\" from top of shoulder to hem and the back extends another 3\" with approximately 1.5\" turned under the hem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eItem# DD5810\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
