Incredible Spring 1993 Yves Saint Laurent One Shoulder Gold Floral & Peach Dress
The Shrimpton Couture Archives
- The dress is from the Spring 1993 collection and we have included photos of how extensively this fabric, in the same colour and others, was used in that collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent
- The base fabric of the dress has been covered with what looks like a hand painted gold paint and it actually helps to give the dress some structure because it's added an amazing texture on top of the fabric. In between that is a pattern that combines a pale pastel peach with a slightly darker peach and soft greens to form a floral print over the entire dress.
- The print has a sleep puffed feel to it in between the gold and there's a bit of a underlying pattern that just adds to the incredible texture of the dress.
- The bust extend up to a wider set strap that curves over the shoulder to become a part of the back. This leaves the other shoulder bare and exposed.
- It drapes over the bust and curves in at the waist. 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.
- The skirt falls to the floor from there slightly widening out as it near the hem. On 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.
- The dress is fully lined in pale grass green silky feeling fabric and closes with a hidden set side set zipper.
