It is cut in a romantic, Belle Époque-inspired silhouette with a high ruffled collar and long gigot sleeves. The gown is handmade in black silk taffeta, with a self-tie sash at the waist and a full-length gathered skirt finished with a flounced tier near the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe collection came out just as Baron Guy and Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild held their famous Proust Ball at the Château de Ferrières on December 2, 1971, marking the centenary of Marcel Proust's birth. Saint Laurent's designs dressed many of the guests, and a variation of this style was worn by American socialite Nan Kempner. A nearly identical example is held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Saint Laurent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52754398707992,"sku":"F1971YSL0001","price":24995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0241\/6920\/files\/fw-1971-yves-saint-laurent-haute-couture-black-silk-taffeta-gown-reallist-saint-laurent-2543585.jpg?v=1790224643","url":"https:\/\/reallist.com\/products\/f-w-1971-yves-saint-laurent-haute-couture-black-silk-taffeta-gown-1","provider":"RealList","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
