1960s Balenciaga Printed Silk Haute Couture Top and Skirt Set
This divine 1960s printed silk top and skirt ensemble is haute couture from coveted label Balenciaga and has elegant line with some immaculate tailoring. The silk fabric is printed with irregular black dalmatian spots over a textured deep pink and white brush stroke design which has a dynamic, youthful appeal. The set comprises of a short sleeve top and mid calf-length skirt both with deceptively complex tailoring irrespective of the simplicity of line. The neckline is a broad slash with a series of hook and eye closures atop of each shoulder so that the top can be easily slipped over the head once unfastened. The waist is expertly tapered with geometric seams and triangular inserts on the under-arms. The straight cut skirt has a neat waistband with a zip fastening positioned to the left at the reverse and a concealed pocket on the left seam. There is a single darted seam to the front right echoed on the reverse left next to the zip to create a subtle asymmetry. Both pieces are fully lined in silk. This striking set is of exceptional quality and construction and could be worn together or as separates. Would fit up to a US size 4-6, UK size 8-10.
