1970s Hanae Mori Palest Blue Butterfly Silk Kimono designer-yves-saint-laurent The sleeve above each cuff

The sleeve above each cuff billows out slightly too

A showstopping 1920s cut silk devore jacket that is really a work of art

Each side is low (though they are different - an interesting touch - and each has a beaded blue ombre detail securing the side

I love how there is a little spray of flowers at the back of the neck and how each cuff has an unusual notch shape

It is truly a brilliant dress  and jacket set and when you see it in person you will be astounded at the level of craftsmanship and care put into the construction

1970s Hanae Mori Palest Blue Butterfly Silk Kimono designer-yves-saint-laurent The sleeve above each cuffThis stunning silk kimono from Hanae Mori has a dreamy and romantic print in shades of blues that range from the palest of colors to a deeply saturated pastel. It looks to have never been worn or used and would be perfect to use as wedding kimono or on your honeymoon, or to top an evening ensemble. Of course it also works as a lingerie piece for the boudoir as well. It is just lovely and has such a romantic feel. The print is hand screened and painted
