and then there were the clothes themselves

Spring 1983 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Attr. Plunging Silk Jersey Top & Skirt Set designer-jacques-fath Natural Waist: 13" flat acrossThis was sold to me and dated as an unlabeled Yves Saint Laurent skirt and top set from the 1982 or 1983 seasons. While we did not find a photo of this exact version we did find a photo from the ready to wear collection that shows a similar draping technique around the waist and I found his sketch of a dress from the Spring 1983 that is similar in feel. I have included a photo of the inner seams so you can see the Haute Couture level of workmanship.
