Today I have two for you and each is an example of the two shades that they were made in. This is the bit darker gold one and it is not perfect but it is perfectly wearable still. This is from the Halston IV line and is a made from a gold lurex lame. I always love when I find these. I have had the twin of this piece a couple of times now in the shop and they always get snatched up immediately. The simple classic design makes it an easy way to be instantly dressed up and still entirely comfortable. Rachel Zoe owns one and she has worn and posted herself wearing hers a few times on her Instagram account. It just proves that this is an incredible and glamorous staple piece that you can wear again and again.

Both of the caftans that I have today are also the versions that have the tighter weave of the lame. This one is also in its original uncut length. Whenever I get these metallic ones I feel that they are just that little bit extra special over the jersey versions. It is a dress that is so easy to wear. It can go from the beach, to entertaining at home with flats, to full on evening glamour. The caftan is cut deceptively simple with a slit front neck and a second slit that goes up the centre seam at the front from the hem for a flash of bare leg. It sits is loose over the body and it is meant to skim over you to the floor. The sleeves come out directly from the body of the caftan and then narrow down towards the wrist. The skirt flows to the floor and widens out as it reaches the hem. The waist is open and easy. If you wanted more definition you could easily add a belt to add shape. This is a wonderful piece with all the minimalist lines that we all love about Halston. Good overall condition with notes below

Unlined and slips on to wear. The fabric has a slight transparency to it. The loose and easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes. This one has some small flaws so it is less than half the price of the other.  There is a tiny repair on the shoulder near the seams and some  small horizontal pull lines. A small darkened area on the front and darkened areas under the arms that are minimal once on. Please see the photos after the label shot.
