Description from the seller

A collectible item from Jean Paul Gaultier's Soleil line, made famous for its semi-transparent pieces. It should be dated to the early 1990s and consists of a shirt and a dress/pareo/shoulder cover.
Elastic viscose fabric with an abstract pattern of white letters on a black background or black letters on a white background.
The shirt, which forms a central X on the chest when closed, has very long laces that are used to tie it at the waist and to the shoulder cover.
The other item is a dress that can be inserted from the back or from the front, leaving almost completely exposed the back. It could also be worn as a shoulder cover, open cardigan, or pareo. With an inner lining.
Probably, it was designed to be worn as the model does, but in the photos other versions are shown worn on the mannequin; or they can be worn separately.
Made in Italy. In overall excellent condition. The shirt laces are a bit stretched at the initial part and there is a small, almost invisible stain on one sleeve, in addition to a few smudges of the motif on the arm (all noted in the photos but that do not affect the quality of the item).
Size M/L; the model in the photo is a tall M, about 175 cm.
Shirt measurements taken at the seams: shoulders 41 cm, sleeve 69, length 54, chest 44, laces 120 and 130.
Dress measurements: length 118 cm, width 60.
