1983 Yves Saint Laurent Crepe & Sequin Dress designer-ossie-clark The fabric is very beautiful

The fabric is very beautiful - the base is a black silk matte satin and the velvet fused onto the fabric in a way that gives it a 3 dimensional feel

It has the most exquisite details - pockets are tucked away along the front seams and even the hidden snaps have been paid attention to - each is custom covered in a matching fabric

Each sleeve has a hook and eye

There is a lot of fabric through the skirt and it is cut on the bias so really moves wonderfully

This suit is part of a collection where this pattern was repeated though out in different colors
