1970s Robert Goossens for Yves Saint Laurent Collar designer-la-mendola The dress is fully lined

The dress is fully lined - a yellow silky rayon was used through the skirt and a silk organza backs the bodice

The bodice is stunning - wide kimono feel sleeves in the same double layer of chiffon as the skirt are worked so that they come out from the waist in a wide design

When I attended the opening of his exhibit in San Francisco I spotted a dress from this same collection being showcased there (the same exhibit that is now making its way around thew world to much acclaim

The pelts are soft

This is an amazing Geoffrey Beene and I would bet was a custom or runway piece
