1986 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Black Velvet and Jacquard Dress gold_beaded_belt The seam has been reinforcedThis black evening dress was commissioned by a special client from Yves Saint Laurents 1986 haute couture runway collection. The fabric is a shimmering black moir jacquard silk woven with tonal motifs of bows and swirling ribbons that appear to ripple as they catch the light.
