Spring 1983 Yves Saint Laurent Red Floral Print Balloon Sleeve Dress w Corset Waist & Peplum designer-rosie-assoulin A fine and rare vintage

A fine and rare vintage Chanel charm cinch belt

Excellent condition Self backed fabric and closes with a side nylon & metal zipper

The boutique label was only produced from 1971 to 1973 and based on similar pieces held in musuem's I believe this to be from that very first year of production

It still feels insanely modern and is a rare and collectible piece of mid-century couture

There is one smudge on the side of the skirt
