Most Wanted 1978 Halston Off White Ivory One Shoulder Draped Jersey Maxi Dress

  • Documented to the 1978 collection
  • The dress was made under the creative direction of Roy Halston.
  • In 2016 a red version was worn by Kate Moss at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
  • Martha Hunt wore the twin of this dress from us to Cannes in 2019 and she landed on several Best Dressed lists. 
  • These were issued on a variety of colours and this one is a wonderful and quite rare ivory version.
  • The dress is suspended by one hook at the shoulder. 
  • The inner part of the dress has a high slit cut into the side that travels up the side of the leg opposite to the draped side. 
  • Attached to that inner sheath lies a draped panel of jersey that is suspended from the shoulder. It falls from that shoulder down and over the front and the back of the dress. 
  • The dress slips on to wear and has a hook at the top of the shoulder to hold it in place.
  • These will fit a variety of sizes since they are not cut to be super fitted and the jersey does have some stretch.
  • There is no size tag present and I have put the comfortable range of measurements when laying flat below.
  • I see a very slight mark on the back near the edge otherwise excellent condition.
