1980s Black Wool Structured Dress

Yves Saint Laurent
1980s Black Wool Structured Dress
Size 42 / M

An elegant 1980s Yves Saint Laurent black wool dress, defined by the strong architectural proportions associated with Saint Laurent tailoring of the period.
Cut with a long, straight silhouette, the dress features pronounced padded shoulders that create a sharply structured upper body before falling cleanly through the waist and skirt. The high standing collar introduces an Asian-inspired line, while the front is finished with a distinctive decorative braided frog closure and elongated black fastening at the chest.

The otherwise minimal construction allows these details to stand out: sharply angled welt pockets at the hips, long sleeves finished with buttoned cuffs, and a discreet back zip extending through the high collar.
Made in France.
