Saint Laurent Sheer Black Silk Gold Lurex Dot Cut Out Back Tunic Mini Dress

An unexpected take on a spring line, the Spring 2017 collection from YSL showcased various forms of black, paying homage to Saint Laurent’s creative use of form and texture in a sleek yet traditional style. This mini dress is done in a black sheer fabric featuring dots in black velvet and gold lame throughout creating a luxurious confetti-like texture.

With a simple rounded neckline and soft-dropped shoulder, this tunic dress has an overall loose fit grounding itself with puffy bishop sleeves and a sarong tied gathered portion just at the waist. On the back, a waist-deep keyhole offers a flirty contrast to the black sheer. The otherwise easy fabric is elevated through these design details to make for an excellent cocktail look.

This dress is half-lined in a solid black silk from the waist while the upper portion and sleeves are fully sheer. Hidden snaps finish the sleeve cuffs and a concealed zip closes the dress at the side. In excellent condition, this dress is unworn with the original tags still attached. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
