1980s Yves Saint Laurent Brown Linen Suit

 

 

 

Yves Saint Laurent's suits consistently held a timeless appeal, and for good reason.  Whether a pant suit or a skirt suit, they celebrated women's femininity without being saccharine sweet, and even his tuxedo suits were something to behold on the female body. In a rich chocolate brown linen, this single-breasted skirt suit has a curvy girly cut.  The sleeve features a five button cuff,  with slanted welt pockets just below the waist. The skirt is straight and slim, with slanted hip pockets and a zippered closure at the side.  Made for Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche line, both pieces are fully lined and in excellent condition.  Jacket measures:  Bust 38", waist 34", hip 38", shoulder to shoulder 17", sleeve 23", length 21".  Skirt measures: Waist 26", hip 37", length 20".  $265
