Description
Yves Saint Laurent loved using one of his signature designs; the smock top, in various ways. By having it made in a luxe fabric and pairing it with more of an evening look, he elevated the smock top to be worn as a jacket with this outfit.
YSL was also a prolific accessory designer and he valued his accessories as much as he did his garments. This outfit can be belted over the jacket or over the top underneath - we are showing it belted with a vintage YSL belt (sold separately).
This late 1970's or early 1980's vintage 3 piece ensemble from YSL includes a flared skirt, sleeveless top and a smock style blouse / jacket with pockets and 3/4 length sleeves and upturned cuffs. The outfit is in a muted pale purple satin backed silk crepe. Yves Saint Laurent was always so creative with his use of fabrics in his designs, and with this one, he uses the matte crepe side of the fabric for the body of the blouse and the satin side for the collar and cuffs, and the satin side for the skirt. The skirt and sleeveless top are trimmed in black and when worn together, they resemble a dress.
All 3 pieces are labeled a size 34 and you can wear the outfit in a variety of ways! We estimate this outfit to fit a modern day size small but review all of the measurements because sizes are very different between different manufacturers. Please keep in mind that we measure all items laid flat and the measurements we give are for the garment, they are not the same as your own measurements. The best way to determine fit is to measure a similar garment that fits you well, laid flat, and compare the measurements.

Measuring & Fit Guide
We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
| DRESSES | PANTS | |
|
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. | |
| HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. | RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. | |
| LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. | INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. | |
|
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve. 
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.
