This is a very beautiful example of Halston's work and skill with silk chiffon. Silk chiffon, especially when it is as light and fine as this, is notoriously hard and difficult to work with. 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. Pieces like this seem so very simple but they are not. It is fantastic.

This is just an absolute wow. It is made from a deep forest green silk chiffon that drapes over the body like magic. There is a a touch of Studio 54 disco era sexiness thrown in the mix and it just couldn't be better. The jumpsuit slips on to wear and it closes and has elastic through the waist so that you can get into it. The front is made of two triangles of silk chiffon that curve up and around the neck where they hook to close. This gives you a plunge that goes down right to the waist but the placement of the fabric holds it in place so that you feel safe wearing it. The entire back is left completely bare and open. It hooks at the front centre of the elastic and then there are a series of hidden set snaps under that. You could also add a belt to really cinch in the waist as much as you want to really emphasize the shape or you can wear it more loose and easy. The pants are cut straight and wide all the way to the hem so that there is a bit of movement to them when you move and walk. The entire thing is made from a double layer of the same silk chiffon. This makes it as light as a feather and while the two layers do make it slightly less transparent than a single layer would be, it still does have some transparency to it. It is so sexy and so very easy to wear. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a second layer of the same silk chiffon and has elastic through the waist with a hook at the front and hidden set snaps under that. A couple of faint marks here and there. It hooks to close at the back of the neck.
