I have had this same dress in the shop in a few various versions of this one. This classic black version is a great basic that you will reach for over and over. Halston is one of those rare labels that the more time that goes by it actually feels more relevant. It is easy to think of this piece as both a treasured collectible and a closet staple - knowing that every time you slip it on you will look and feel amazing. It has his signature simplicity and masterful draping along with a touch of Studio 54 sexiness thrown in. The dress is made from a light wool jersey that has an ultra soft finish. It has no fabric tags but almost feel like it has a touch of cashmere worked into it. The dress simply slips on and you hook it into place at the waist. The front crosses over itself with a low plunge. The placement of the fabric and the interior hooks hold it in place so that you feel safe wearing it. It is cut with the absolute minimal seaming and on the on the bias. Once on it wraps and drapes to follow your every curve. The skirt crosses over and is cut so the hem follows a soft curve as it comes around the back and then up on both sides to meet the waist. The wrapped styling allows the entire front to look like you could step out of the dress at any moment. It would be easy to adjust the waist up or down a bit by moving the hooks and you could really cinch it and change the look and feel of it by adding a belt. This is signature Halston in a dress that can go from day or night. Excellent condition with a small note below.

Unlined and wraps to close with flat hooks at the waist to hold it in place. The waist could be adjusted approx 1" up or down by moving the hooks. The wool jersey is a very comfortable and light weight. I see a few scattered pinhole repairs that are well done and evident from the back of the fabric
