Dress, evening-style, of light green. Cut on the bias; continuous ruffle starting at the center front at knee-level. Ruffle goes over the head to create a V-shaped neckline, and continues down the center back to bottom hem. Flutter sleeves created by ruffle. Floor-length, with slight train at back.
This dress is from the 1970s, the most successful decade of Halston's career. Its bias-cut and draped style fits perfectly with the glamour of the disco-era. Roy Halston was born in Iowa and later moved to Chicago to attend to the School of the Art Institute. He opened a millinery studio in Chicago in the early 1950s and later moved to New York to start his dressmaking career.
