who wore a Fratini gown for her 21st birthday portrait

I love the skirt with its flowing fabric to the floor

These were THE thing to own in the 1970's - no one had seen this fabric before and they were all the rage

1970s Yves Saint Laurent Print Challis Dress designer-zandra-rhodes The palette is a nudeThis is a classic YSL silhouette. A high ruffled neck and attached tie sit atop a full smocked shape. The sleeves are tremendously full above a wide buttoned cuff. You can cinch it in as shown with the original tie belt or wear loose and full. The upper shoulders are lined and the rest left unlined. The closer you get the more you realize how brilliant the print really is! No flaws. Shoulders: 14" Sleeves: 25" Bust: 19. 5" flat across from side seam
