BB of DD - Yves Saint Laurent Suit

This is my favourite out of the whole bag of treats.

Yves Saint Laurent (although the label is now just Saint Laurent) is famed for bringing the tuxedo suit for woman to the forefront of fashion. Now this isn't a tuxedo suit, but it is just as lush!

Polka dotted navy 2 piece skirt suit is very 60's (but we think it is actually early 90's)
From the YSL diffusion line Variation, we can imagine Audrey Hepburn cavorting about in Roman Holiday in this....

Ok, so this is Givenchy and not YSL but you get my drift....

Jacket and skirt are in great condition.
The jacket is front fastening. The skirt has a zip up the back and both are fully lined in navy acetate.
Size 10 (eur 38)
This can be dressed up with heels for a polished look or add some flats for a smart casual outfit.

Own this piece of classic YSL clothing for £200

Words cannot express how much I love this outfit. And so did the friends in the know when they were checking it to value it. We all LOVE IT!

BB of DD - Marianne Fassler Jacket and Skirt

Another set of garments from the Bumper Bag of Designer Donations to show to you now.

(This designer we had to Google, but now we are experts in her designs.)

Marianne Fassler is from South Africa and her designs are influenced by her surroundings and has spent 2 decades in the fashion business.

Taken from here - "Marianne Fassler is arguably South Africa’s most original and enduring designer. What sets Fassler apart from her peers is that she always kept her eyes wide open to the vibrant, cross-cultural images one sees on the streets of an African city and has the sass and confidence to weave them into couture collections." Very well put.

We have for you buying pleasure a beautiful skirt with flower beading embellishments and a jacket with pretty pearl buttons (I do love buttons....Good buttons)

Skirt is cotton, and a size 14 (eur 42) and £20

Jacket is lined (with a small rip on the side, but it can't be seen when jacket is worn) with silk
Double breasted with oversized collar.
Size 14 (eur 42)
Priced at £45

From Johannesburg to Brook Green!

BB of DD - Harrods Dress

BB of DD = Bumper Bag of Designer Donations by the way. But you guessed that as you are clever.

This Harrods own brand dress was produced C1970 (according to our friends in the know)
It is a soft jersey fabric with a lovely scalloped neck line, with beading detail.
However some of the beading has come loose over time.
The sleeves are half length.
Zip down the side.
Size 10 (Eur 38). A rather fitted size 10.

This is a statement floor length gown. "Look at me. I'm classy yet sexy" The dress really said that....Well if it could talk it would.
Perfect for a glitzy occasion
£68
