'Sold' This is an exceptionally fine 1980s haute couture velvet column dress that features an elaborate stomacher jewel which is sewn into the sweetheart bodice. The stomacher jewel features a very large faceted faux citrine stone with pave set diamantes on silvered metal. Three articulated drops each feature the famous "Braque Dove" motif first used by Saint Laurent in 1983 and appearing in numerous collections throughout the decade. Fully marked to the rear with the designer's initials, there is no doubt that this was made by Robert Goossens for the House and is a whopping 13cm by 8cm. It is possible this jewel is from the YSL Spring / Summer 1988 Braque collection. In pristine vintage condition with no faults of any note. It has clearly only been worn a handful of times and was used as part of the wardrobe of a feature film by the lead actress which we attach to show the fit. Best for a UK size 6, US 2 or sample size. • • • #vintageforsale #vintagedealer #vintageshop #sustainablefashion #forsale #vintagelove #ysl #yvessaintlaurent #hautecouture #documentedvintage #couturevintage #lbd #littleblackdress #cocktaildress #vintageysl #straplessdress #velvetdress #naomicampbell #vintagecouture
