Model in video is a US Size 8, and 5’8 feet tall Few American designers changed the course of fashion as profoundly as Roy Halston Frowick. Revered for his impeccable tailoring, luxurious jersey fabrics, and effortless approach to glamour, Halston created clothing that celebrated movement, comfort, and timeless sophistication. This exceptionally rare 1970s day dress beautifully embodies that philosophy while showcasing one of the most unusual novelty prints associated with the designer. Crafted from an incredibly soft silk blend jersey with comfortable stretch, the fabric drapes fluidly over the body, creating a silhouette that is both flattering and remarkably easy to wear. The elongated pointed collar, partial button-front closure, elegantly shaped bodice, elbow-length sleeves, and softly flared knee-length skirt work together to create a classic 1970s silhouette that skims the figure without clinging. Halston’s mastery of proportion is evident throughout, resulting in a dress that feels as comfortable today as it did nearly fifty years ago. What truly distinguishes this piece is its extraordinary allover novelty pink pig print set against a dramatic black background. From a distance, the motif reads almost as an abstract graphic, only revealing its whimsical character upon closer inspection. It is an unforgettable design that perfectly balances playful artistry with sophisticated styling. After extensive research, I was unable to locate another publicly documented example of this exact print in museum collections, runway archives, editorials, or the vintage marketplace. While it cannot be stated that this is the only example ever produced, it is unquestionably an exceptionally scarce surviving Halston design and one of the most distinctive novelty-print dresses to emerge from the designer’s celebrated 1970s output. The craftsmanship is equally impressive. Halston was renowned for creating garments that appeared deceptively simple while relying on precise patternmaking and expert construction. Beautifully placed seams, balanced proportions, and the luxurious drape of the silk blend jersey allow the dress to move gracefully with the body while maintaining its elegant shape. The slight stretch in the fabric further enhances both comfort and fit, making it as wearable as it is collectible. Whether styled with understated heels for a daytime luncheon, statement jewelry for cocktails, or boots and a tailored jacket for a modern editorial look, this remarkable Halston offers the rare opportunity to own an exceptionally elusive piece from one of America’s greatest fashion designers.

Approximately a modern US size SmallPlease refer to the measurements for the most accurate fit. Bust: 34 inches Waist: 27 inches Hips: Up to 48 inches Length: 54 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem Beautiful vintage Alex Colman of California maxi dress dating to the early 1970s, featuring a spectacularly vibrant hot pink ground with an intricate multicolor floral and geometric border print in turquoise, lime green, yellow, orange, lavender and white. The sleeveless fitted bodice features a bateau neckline and beautifully engineered vertical placement of the print, drawing the eye toward the wide, defined waistband. Delicate pale pink floral loop trim finishes the neckline, arm openings and both edges of the waistband, adding wonderful texture and dimension. The textile placement is particularly striking. Vertical floral and geometric bands accentuate the fitted bodice, while the pattern changes direction across the waistband before flowing horizontally across the dramatically full, gathered maxi skirt. The juxtaposition gives the dress an almost patchwork or tapestry-like appearance while remaining entirely cohesive. A center-back zipper provides closure. Founded in Los Angeles in 1947 by Alex and Sade Colman, Alex Coleman of California became an important name in the postwar California sportswear movement and was particularly known during the 1960s and 1970s for colorful dresses, separates and distinctive printed textiles. The label’s exuberant use of color and pattern helped embody the relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic for which California fashion became internationally recognized. This dress is a wonderful example of that aesthetic, combining the romantic maxi silhouette and bohemian influence of the era with beautifully considered construction and print placement. Equally striking for a summer event, resort setting, garden party or styled as a statement vintage evening dress.
