1970s Yves Saint Laurent Toweling Caftan designer-herve-leger The sleeves are full and

The sleeves are full and cuff at the wrist and the dress skims over the body and then has a kicky flare to it through the skirt

I love the raffia look cording that is stitched and looped into place to give a bit of wild child flare to the piece

Hand finishes as one would expect

The front has a sexy plunged cowl feel neckline and then waist nips in

It is a piece that was made in Hong Kong in the 1960s when some of the best brocade work was being done on the planet for a division of the Malcolm Starr company and it has that fantastic Malcolm Starr vibe

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Toweling Caftan designer-herve-leger The sleeves are full andIn the early 1970s the jet set lifestyle was all the rage and what better to lounge by your pool then in a Yves Saint Laurent towelling caftan? Literally like wearing a garment assembled from toweling fabric this is crazy comfortable to wear. Its done in a red mixed with a purple blue and the cut is insanely simple basically a giant widened T. Its zips up the front and has side slits on each side and deep hidden pockets. How chic to wear to the beach
