• The dress dates to the late 1980s and is most similar to the pieces we see in the 1987 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• Its easy cut and open smock shape through the body is a strong nod to the pieces from the 1920s.
• The dress combines a brilliant pink silk with black floral patterned lace used for the sleeves.
  
• The neckline is cut slightly wide across and the shoulders are soft. The neckline is bordered with a panel of the same pink silk and the fabric is gathered in along the edge on the front and the back. It buttons with two buttons at the back of the neck that sit above a small slit.
• The sleeves are spectacular. They are made out of a very pretty floral black lace. The lace is unlined so you can see a peak of skin between the lace once the dress is on. I love that for the cuffs he used the same pink silk used in the body of the dress for a little contrasting pop.
• The dress skims loosely over the bust and waist into a low set seam around the hips. If you wanted to wear the dress shorter, you could add a belt for a completely different silhouette. The very bottom part of the skirt is a little soft and flirty silk ruffle that is just under 9" wide.
• The dress is unlined and slips over the head to wear. It closes with two buttons at the back of the neck. Each sleeve has a loop and button to close. It's loose and easy fit should allow it to work on a range of sizes. The pink is a touch lighter than how it photoed here. It is meant to fit slightly oversized.
