The fabulous design is made in France from a high quality velvet – appears to be silk velvet – and features a sublime asymmetrical neckline giving prominence to the collarbone. An eye-catching rhinestone button closure up the left front adds a bit of sparkle to it.
The dress has long sleeves with buttoned cuffs (working buttonholes), a padded right shoulder (the left one is unpadded as to the reduced design of the shoulder) and is fully lined. Love the wonderful scooped hem!
Labelled “Saint Laurent Rive Gauche” and tagged a French vintage size 38.
Excellent vintage condition. The velvet shows variations in the way the plush of the velvet lays so a couple of small areas catch the light differently. Not a true flaw but mentioned for accuracy.
