Vintage Halston cashmere knit dress in a rich navy blue, most likely made in the 70s. Constructed from the most incredibly soft cashmere, it slips over the head and is cut to hug your upper body while gently flaring at the hem. Incredibly simple and fabulously chic, this dress perfectly exemplifies Halston's design aesthetic. So hard to find a Halston knit nowadays, especially in this size and condition.
Preowned/vintage with minimal signs of prior use and wear. Unlined/dry clean only. No size tag, but fits like a modern S/M. Approximate measurements, taken flat and doubled where appropriate: shoulders - 15.5in, bust - 36in, waist - 27in, hips - 38in, shoulder to hem - 39in, sleeves - 12in. Note that knit allows for appx .25in of comfortable stretch. Tagged HALSTON 100% PURE CASHMERE MADE IN SCOTLAND.
