Documented Fall 1977 Halston Cashmere Sky Blue Dress w Extra Long Attached Wrap Ties designer-Louis-Mies Hips: to 21" flat acrossThis is a very rare and beautiful example of Halston's work using cashmere during this time period. He was a master at combining function and ease but without sacrificing glamour. He did this with the absolute minimum of seaming that a garment required. His bias cut knit pieces sometimes feel and look somewhat shapeless on the hanger or dress form and it is only when they are slipped on that they drape and settle into place the way they were intended.
