Absolutely incredible iconic vintage 1971 Youssef Rizkallah Malcolm Starr Caspian Sea collection blouse and skirt set. Sheer black rayon blouse with long ruffled cuff sleeves and high neck. skirt is a work of art! Heavy white cotton twill with black velvet horizontal and vertical stripes outlined in gold ric rak trim, gold plastic circle appliques, gold plastic strips, elaborate cutout appliques, trimmed cummerbund waist treatment, and bold pop of orange at the hem. all the glorious workmanship can be seen on the interior of the skirt, fully lined in acetate.
The previous owner has sewn the two pieces together and moved the skirt hooks to make the waist a bit larger. I have not touched the alterations, I will leave that up to the buyer.
Dress is available for layaway. Serious inquiries only.
Will be shipped with insurance, please be prepared for someone to sign for this parcel.

Condition: Very Good! some small spots to the cotton skirt, very very light. I did not have this dry cleaned due to the plastic applique pieces sewn onto the skirt, I fear that the solvents will ruin the applique. Set has been sewn together by previous owner, originally separate. Skirt hooks have been moved to the edge of the waistband.
