This is a gorgeous floral and butterfly print two piece day dress from the Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 1986 collection. The matching top and skirt set look like a dress when worn together, but can be worn separately. It is olive green cotton, with red, blue, and golden yellow floral, butterfly and dot print. The top has beautiful puff sleeves and bateau neckline, and the skirt is full with pockets. The top closes with buttons down the back, and the skirt closes with a zipper and long metal hook and eye on the fixed waistband. Made in France.
We have had different colorways of this ensemble over the years, and the beautiful print looks incredible in every version! We have documented this outfit on the YSL runway from 1986, but he had mixed and coordinated different color tops with skirts! Yves Saint Laurent was heavily influenced by Morocco, where he owned a home, and he loved the vibrant colors found there.
Labeled size 38, we estimate this would best fit a size small. The top is meant to be blouse-y, and the fixed waistband is where the fit is determined.
