Documented F/W 1990-91 Yves Saint Laurent Red Jacket designer-christian-lacroix It is a semi-sheer black

It is a semi-sheer black chiffon and the lightness of the fabric is the perfect contrast to the bold skirt

I love the checked design screened onto the silk - the colors are a perfect complement to each other and it is a gorgeous light weight - think scarf silk
