Vintage 1980's Yves Saint Laurent black velvet dress.  Crafted in a rich black velvet fabric, the silhouette falls in a fluid, elongated line, gently skimming the body before finishing in a soft ruffled hem. The wrap-style construction creates a flattering, adjustable fit, secured with an elegant side tie that forms a sculptural bow at the waist. The neckline is framed with voluminous silk ruffles that cascade asymmetrically across the bodice and continue along the wrap seam.  In excellent vintage condition.
