This enchanting 1970s Courrèges silk halter neck maxi dress is delightfully feminine with a simple and elegant line. A departure from the stark futuristic designs usually synonymous with this designer, this lovely piece is comprised of lightweight textured silk chiffon in a beguiling shade of pale aquamarine overlaying an opaque slip lining. The dress is essentially a sleeveless shift cut with a halter neck bodice that defines the shoulders to dramatic effect. The waistband is neatly synched before falling effortlessly into a floaty ankle length skirt with pintuck pleating over the hips. The same pintuck design is echoed on the upper half of the bodice over the bust before giving way to softer pleating above the waistband. The reverse of the dress is open to reveal the upper back and shoulders, and fastens with a series of concealed popper fixtures to the left of the bodice and hips. There is a small hook and eye closure to secure the halter strap at the neck. In beautiful condition, this charming dress will suit a range of occasions. Would best suit a US size 4-6, UK size 8-10.
