halston red dress Iconic c1976 Halston Strapless Tie Front Sarong Red Jersey Dress – Shrimpton CoutureI am always on the look out for this style of dress by Halston. It is one of the most iconic of all of the Halston silhouettes. Countless women have been photoed in a version and I have included many of those reference photos here. Versions have been exhibited and there is always one included in every and any book on Halston and his work. This is a jersey version that is extremely easy to wear and travel with. These were issued in a variety of colors

I am always on the look out for this style of dress by Halston. It is one of the most iconic of all of the Halston silhouettes. Countless women have been photoed in a version and I have included many of those reference photos here. Versions have been exhibited and there is always one included in every and any book on Halston and his work. This is a jersey version that is extremely easy to wear and travel with. These were issued in a variety of colors including this wonderful red version.

Halston was a master at this cut. There is a certain sexiness caused by the illusion that the entire dress sis held in place with that one little tie at the front. And it actually is. Undoing the front tie would cause the entire dress to drop in a puddle around you. It is constructed from a red synthetic jersey and it skims over the body in a long sheath. The entire dress is cut to gather up and towards the bust so it falls in soft drapes all the way to the hem. At the bust there are two attached short ties that you can cinch in as needed to hold the dress in place. I love the long lean line that this creates and it is amazingly sexy despite the fact that it is not tight fitting. This is heightened further by your bare shoulders adding the perfect contrast to that covered feel below. This is an iconic dress by Halston that is easy to  care for. It is wash and wear and virtually wrinkle free which makes it perfect for traveling. It is very easy to style too - a quick change of shoe takes it day to night in a snap. Excellent condition.

Slips on to wear and ties as seen at the front. These will fit a variety of sizes since they are not cut to be super fitted and the jersey does have some stretch.

Bust: to 18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam
Length: 58" from top of the bodice to hem

Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED

Really Perfect
Color: Bronze
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I was looking for a bronze metallic clutch and this fit the purpose completely.  Enough room for several items, yet still small enough to call it a clutch.  I love it.

Beautiful but has the smell!
Match perfectly with my shoes. Pretty and big enough to carry yet still a clutch. Pretty tassel. Chain looks cheap and flimsy but I wanted clutch. However I would have ordered the pricier version, that’s designer because it STILL has, despite perfume, fabric spray, Tide spray, that HORRIBLE smell. I needed to use for event, if not I would have returned
