1970s Yves Saint Laurent Chocolate Silk Chiffon Top designer-jean-paul-gaultier 5" from waist to bottomThis Yves silk chiffon top is a beauty. The cut is loose and easy and the fabric a very fine silk chiffon that is a semi transparent milk chocolate color. Each sleeve is cut to puff slightly above the two button cuffs. The attached tie at the neck is cut wide and long and sits just off side following the offset button opening. The combination of the tie at the neck and the airiness and lightness of the silk chiffon really make for a perfect romantic,
