Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and dramatic 1970s French gown by Yvette
This immaculate 1970s creation by French label Yvette embodies a refined yet dramatic presence. Crafted in black chiffon, it is fully lined for structure while retaining a graceful fluidity in movement. The gown features sheer voluminous puff sleeves gathered at the shoulders, finished with satin piping and delicate horizontal ribboning that highlights the sleeve’s fullness. The neckline is a wide scoop, also piped in satin, with soft gathering at the bust for subtle definition.
Falling from a high waistline, the full-length skirt is designed with multiple tiered layers, each edged with gathered frills that create a romantic sense of drama and movement. Its construction allows it to embody different stylistic interpretations—gothic, romantic, or bohemian—depending on how it is styled. In immaculate condition, this piece appears never to have been worn, offering a rare opportunity to own a pristine original from the 1970s.
