1980s Halston Densely Beaded & Crystal Black Dress & Jacket Message from the famous Russian Collection This wonderful and chic numberedThis dress has that 1980s reference to the 1920s flapper pieces that you see so often from this era. It simply slips on with no closures and is a loose and easy sheath once one. The base is a black silk and onto this is a dense coverage of 3D set beads, crystals and pailettes to form that wonderful design you see covering both the jacket and dress. Halston had the fabric for these beaded and sequinned pieces hand made in India by the Naeem Khan family
