Important & Rare Resort 1976 Halston Couture Ivory Silk Ribbon Chiffon Jumpsuit w Original Sash

The Shrimpton Couture Archives

  • This is a very recognizable and highly documented Halston from the Resort 1976 collection that is very rare and very special. 
  • It was made under the creative direction of Roy Halston.
  • Cheryl Tiegs was shot in its twin for Harper's Bazaar that season. That same photo also makes an appearance in the book on his work titled 'Halston' by Phiadon.
  • Its twin is held in The Met Museum's collection (though they have their dated as being earlier which based on the Harper's photo appears to be inaccurate). 
  • At this point in his career, pieces would have been made in very limited made-to-order quantities. It is an incredible example of his work from this time period.  
  • The jumpsuit has a soft and flowing feel to it and yet when you wrap the sash around you at the waist it still gives you shape.
  • It is made of an ivory silk chiffon with a ribbon effect that is fused directly into the silk. This gives the fabric the double texture that you see and it really plays on it transparent feel.
  • Where the jumpsuit is unlined through the upper bodice and sleeves you really see how you get a glimpse of the skin under the silk. The main part of the bodice and the pants are hand lined in a nude silk chiffon so that the jumpsuit is not completely transparent.
  • The bodice is cut to blouse softly over the waist and it closes with a series of hook & eye down the front. In the iconic Harper's shot it was left fully open and that is how I photoed it for most of these shots but also show it fully closed.
  • The waist has an elastic through it and it is cut to sit loose and easy in the body. You can cinch in the waist as much as you wish with the matching sash belt.
  • From the waist the pants flow to the floor. They skim over the hips and then fall in a very full and open wide cut pant. The pants are on their original length
  •  It is very well made and finished by hand and even better in person and on an actual body where the fabric can really move and flow as it was meant to. This would be a crowning pinnacle to someone's Halston collection or a beautiful part of a wedding event.
  • The body and pants are lined in a nude silk chiffon. Hand finished throughout. It close with a series of hooks and snaps down the front. It has its original long matching sash. I see the occasional little scuff on the satin ribbon parts which is normal vintage patina. The ivory is slightly paler in person. It otherwise looks to have been worn very little if at all. It is a very rare and amazing example of his work. 
  • There is no size tag so please go by the measurements below. The softness of it should allow it to work and drape on a range of sizes. 
  • Excellent condition
