This elegant Yves Saint Laurent circa 1974 black silk jersey two piece suit would lend itself effortlessly to both formal occasion wear and to evening wear. The simple lines create a classic silhouette whilst the generous silk jersey fabric has a lovely movement and weight. The ankle length skirt has a central zip fastening at the reverse, where there is an additional 2 inches extra length for a subtle train effect. The waistband and upper part of the skirt is beautifully fitted to show off the hip area, before flaring out at the lower thigh into a glamorous floor sweeping bell. The blouse is long sleeved and features a wrap-around detail at the waist which is secured with a lengthy tie to the left of the dress - this forms a V neck which is revealing but not immodest. A large peplum frill of jersey below the waistline of the blouse is a lovely feminine feature to consolidate the overall feel of the piece. The set is in excellent condition with no notable flaws and would best suit US size 2 - 4, UK size 6 - 8. Our model is a UK 6 - 8 and 5ft 4in (163 cm) and this fit her well.
