1974 Halston Red Silk Chiffon Ruffled Collar & Cuffs Bias Cut Dress mao-hide This cording runs around eachThis is a beautiful example of Halston's work 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 pieces like this one, sometimes feel 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. They seem so very simple
