Approximately Size Small Bust: 34 inches Waist: 30 inches Hips: 36 inches Length top back shoulder seam to hem: 58 inches An exceptional Vintage 1970s Halston red silk gown from the designer’s documented Spring 1976 Made to Order collection. A superb example of Halston’s famously fluid, body-conscious approach to American eveningwear. The Halston Made to Order Spring 1976 Ready to Wear collection was presented in New York on December 4, 1975, and is preserved in the Fairchild Archive/WWD photographic archive. A closely related version of this design was photographed on the runway in black, providing important archival documentation for the design and collection. The runway gown shares the distinctive asymmetric one-shoulder concept and gathered neckline, while differing slightly in its shoulder treatment and overall draping. Rendered here in a striking lipstick red, the gown has an extraordinarily clean, sensual bias silhouette. The asymmetric neckline sweeps diagonally across the body with soft gathering and rises into a narrow single-shoulder strap finished with a dramatic self-fabric tie. The fluid fabric follows the body without the rigid construction associated with traditional evening gowns, creating the effortless movement for which Halston’s 1970s designs became celebrated. The long column silhouette skims the bust, waist and hips before falling toward the ankle, with subtle asymmetry and movement at the hem. Equally striking from the back, the gown’s diagonal neckline and fluid draping create a different composition from every angle. A particularly desirable piece for a collector of 1970s American designer fashion, Halston eveningwear, documented runway designs, or minimalist vintage gowns. The brilliant red color also makes this an extraordinary choice for a gala, formal dinner, wedding reception, red-carpet event or evening occasion. Approximately Size Small Bust: 34 inches Waist: 30 inches Hips: 36 inches Length top back shoulder seam to hem: 58 inches Archival Documentation Collection: Halston Made to Order Spring 1976 Ready to Wear Presentation: December 4, 1975, New York City Archival source: Fairchild Archive/WWD via Getty Images Runway reference: Closely related black one-shoulder version photographed during the presentation.

Marked Size: Small Fits Like: Approximately US 2–6 (lots of stretch) Measurements: Bust: 32–38 inches Waist: 26–30 inches Hips: 32–38 inches Length: 37 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem A fabulous early 1990s vintage Lillie Rubin black sequin mini dress, and the ultimate 90s little black dress. This glamorous body-conscious design features an off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline, visible shoulder straps, short sleeves, and allover black sequins that catch the light beautifully. The same distinctive Lillie Rubin dress design was worn in red by Sabrina Carpenter in the “Manchild” music video, giving this black version an especially fun connection to one of Carpenter’s memorable vintage looks. The black colorway transforms the design into a quintessential 1990s LBD, equally suited to cocktail dressing, parties, evening events, or New Year’s Eve. The dress has substantial stretch and is designed to hug the figure, creating a sculpted hourglass silhouette. A hidden zipper runs up the back and finishes with a hook-and-eye closure. Marked Size: Small Fits Like: Approximately US 2–6 depending on desired fit and proportions Measurements: Bust: 32–38 inches Waist: 26–30 inches Hips: 32–38 inches Length: 37 inches from top back shoulder seam to hem A fantastic piece of 1990s Lillie Rubin eveningwear with strong contemporary appeal thanks to the Sabrina Carpenter “Manchild” connection. The combination of black sequins, a sweetheart neckline, exposed shoulders, and a fitted mini silhouette makes this an exceptionally versatile vintage party dress and a perfect little black dress.
