Product Details
+I always love when I find these. I have had the twin of this piece in both gold and red a couple of times now and they always get snatched up immediately. This is from the Halston IV line and is a made from a red lurex lame. The simple classic design makes it an easy way to be instantly dressed up and still entirely comfortable. Rachel Zoe owns and wears the twin of this in a gold version and she has worn and posted herself wearing hers a few times on . It just proves that this is an incredible and glamorous staple piece that you can wear again and again.
Whenever I get these metallic ones I feel that they are just that little bit extra special. It is a dress that is so easy to wear. I own one myself and can attest that these can go from the beach, to entertaining at home with flats, to full on evening glamour. The caftan has a simple and easy to wear cut. There is a slit front neck and then a second slit runs up the center seam at the front from the hem. So when you walk or sit you get a flash of leg showing. The cut is loose and easy to wear. It is meant to skim over the body. The sleeves come out directly from the body of the caftan and then narrow down towards the wrist. The skirt flows to the floor and widens out to be quite full as it reaches the hem. The waist is open and easy. If you wanted more definition you could easily add a belt or fabric sash to add shape. This is a wonderful piece with all the minimalist lines that we all love about Halston. This one even ha its original hangtag attached. Excellent condition with a minor note below
Unlined and slips on to wear. The fabric has a slight transparency to it. The loose and easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes. These always have a loose thread here and there but is part of the vintage charm of them. I see a very tiny pull here and there near the side seams and one tiny repair that you only see inside. All minor and what I have seen in every one of these that I have had. The colour is a touch brighter red in person then how it photoed
