Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1987 Haute Couture Raffia Dress z-archive-1980s It is cut to skim

It is cut to skim over the body and fall softly over the hips where it widens out

Partially lined through the top as described above and then the rest of the jumpsuit is unlined

The skirt has enough volume that you can add an even fuller skirt to get a real bell shape if you wanted it to have an even more formal gown feel

You can see the work of the Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell team in the cut of this dress and fabric choice

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1987 Haute Couture Raffia Dress z-archive-1980s It is cut to skimThe Shrimpton Couture Archives This is the twin of the dress that walked the runway. It is almost impossible to photo on a dress form. Please reference the runway photos for how it will sit on a body. It's made out of raffia and has a sense of transparency to it because it has no lining Reference Photos: (1 2) S S 1987 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Runway Show.
