yves saint laurent dress Sensual Spring 1973 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Black Silk Jersey Front, – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1973 YSL collection. It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent. The dress is very well documented. Its twin was shown on the runway that season and one was photoed on Marlene Dietrich with Yves himself. I love that. Its modern day provenance includes being worn by Emmy Rossum and the dress that she wore is one that came from us. The dress is not perfect so please make sure to

  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1973 YSL collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
  • The dress is very well documented. Its twin was shown on the runway that season and one was photoed on Marlene Dietrich with Yves himself. I love that. 
  • Its modern day provenance includes being worn by Emmy Rossum and the dress that she wore is one that came from us.
  • The dress is not perfect so please make sure to read the entire description before purchasing. It is completely wearable as found.
  • This is one of my favourite dresses that Yves ever did. I believe there was a remake of it a couple of years ago, but the remake do not come close to the quality and level of craft that the originals have.
  • The dress is made out of a fine slinky silk jersey in black.
  • Two triangles sit at the front and come in around the waist and tight little gathers. They narrowed to the top of the shoulder where they are held in place by brass chain and loops. They appear to have been made by hand and they have a beautiful touch of patina to them. I love how these are the only embellishment on the dress.
  • The triangles are set into the front and back in a way that allows the dress to plunge on all four sides
  • The front is set in a V right to the waist seam as is the back. And then because the triangles are set the way they are, you also get a deep plunge down each side.
  • I love how this leaves an unexpected flash of skin all the way around you but the way it's constructed holds the triangles perfectly in place once on the body.
  • The waist is set slightly high and inside there is a wide band of grosgrain ribbon that hooks into place and holds the dress around you. 
  • The skirt falls from there beautifully to the floor. It is from a single layer of the black jersey that is very full and then under that is an inner skirt made out of a matching black jersey. The movement this gives the skirt is incredible.
  • This is a defining piece from YSL history and an absolutely beautiful dress
  • The dress is fully lined in a second layer of the same silk jersey. It closes with a side, zipper and the inner grosgrain ribbon around the waist hooks to close. Around the entire top portion of the skirt there are a series of tiny thinning and holes. They do not appear to be present on the bottom or lower portion of the skirt. They are completely hidden within the pleats, but you do see them if you spread the skirt fully out and hold it up to the light. It is priced at less than half of what it would be if this was not the case. Please see the photo after the label shot for an example of it. 
  • There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.

Spray stops working
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I’ve been buying this product for awhile and keep experiencing issues. It protects your skin well but is sometimes hard to spray and half the time the nozzle stops working while there is still product in the bottle.

In most of all circumstances, this works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For Summer time and when playing and working in the sun, this is my go to sunscreen! I love how it is more natural than all the other ones out there. I have been sort of a spray on sunscreen connoisseur and this is the one that is my favorite. Also, if I have gotten a burn and put this on it, I believe it helps start the healing process on the burn I got. This is at least what I experienced multiple times last year. The only circumstance that this sunscreen fails miserably is in the Caribbean. I recently went on a cruise to that region and applied this sunscreen and it became evident that this and the other brands of spray on sunscreen do not work in Caribbean sun. The only sunscreen that works is the lotion based stuff that you rub into your skin. I have also consulted with friends on spray on sunscreen in the Caribbean and they all fail as well. So, this is why I say that it works in almost every circumstance.

spray nozzle needs work.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I purchased 3 of these cans. Only one of them worked and that one was ok. Sprayed well, smelled good and and protected my skin and even though it was hard to press it to work, we WERE able to use it, but the other three .............? They would not rotate to the unlock position, therefore they would not spray. My husband and I tried everything to get it to rotate. It seems both the top and bottom ring spin around effectively doing nothing. So to pay almost $40 for only one can to work is definitley not worth the money. Buy somewhere else.
