Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1985 One Shoulder Black, Pink & Blue Dress designer-pauline-trigere The petals of each flower

The petals of each flower are made from a larger cream paillettes that is hand sewn into place and set on its side so that they have a more 3D feel

For example it looks like the skirt was once pleated but the pleats have softened out with time

The sleeves are cut so that they widen slightly as they reach the cuffs and they are the star of the show

and is a really fun alternative to the more traditional wedding dress
