Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Green Silk Chiffon Ruffled Goddess Evening Gown YSL

A swirl of romantic ruffles in two hues of gorgeous green silk chiffon makes this Yves Saint Laurent evening gown an ultra-pretty find from the past. Soft and flowing, the dress is embellished by a deep flounce that trims the scooped neckline, side slit and sweeping hem. The magnificent skirt is lined in an extra layer of fabric in a vibrant moss shade, which pops out from beneath the olive shell for heightened drama.

The delicious color combo is echoed at the back, where a reverse halter in the same lighter tone falls from between the shoulders into a lovely drape before being tied into a sash about the waist. Called a goddess gown for a reason, this piece is meant to bring out a woman’s beauty. With its easy wearability, it would make a stunning choice for an outdoor affair or warm-weather formal event.
