The twin of this dress walked the runway for Spring 1977 and I have included that runway photo here for you for reference. It also gives you a fabulous idea of how good the dress is one the body. This is an absolutely beautiful and classic Halston from his main label couture line. It is an incredible example of his work from this time period and the colour is amazing

This dress is drop dead gorgeous with its yards and yards of bias cut silk chiffon in that perfect beautiful red. The construction on it rivals any of the best Halston pieces I have seen to date. The dress is made of four feather light layers of bias cut silk chiffon stacked on top of each other. Every one of the four layers is that fantastic true crisp red colour. This gives the colour added depth and intensity. It is just stunning to see it in person. Layering the chiffon like that also gives it so much more movement then it would have otherwise. Your slightest movement while this is on causes the silk to float and move around you. The layers have just enough weight to stay in place when you are standing still and then when you move they will move with you and the result is gorgeous. This is a fabric that is notoriously difficult to work with and it shows just what a genius he was by the way that he was able to make it flow and sit so beautifully. The majority of work is all done by hand and it would have taken many, many hours of work to create this dress in this way. The dress is suspended from the shoulders by two silk straps. The neckline plunges in a V at the front and then at the back it drops so that you back is left fully bare and open. Those tiny straps are all that cover you to where they meet the silk at the back and they feel very sexy running down the expanse of bare skin. The dress falls in a loose and easy cut that skims over you. The bias cut lets it both cling and skim over you at the same time and its incredibly easy to wear. It simply falls from the neckline, skims over the bust and then the waist and hips are open and easy due to that bias cut silk. The skirt is incredibly full. There are many yards of silk there and the layers all create more movement and swing when you move. The dress also comes with its original massive silk chiffon caped shawl piece. It is cut with one end to be more rounded so you can wear it draped over the shoulder or tie the ends to hold it in place. This gives you many different ways that you can style it and I did a few here for you to see. It is incredible. This is a dress that must be on a body to really come to life. As good as it looks here it is nothing compared to it on and moving. And even as beautiful as it is, it is also a technical masterpiece with all those layers of silk and the way he constructed it. It is very beautiful. Great condition with a minor note below to review

The dress is made from four attached layers of the silk chiffon. It has no closures and slips over the head to wear. Hand finishes. The bias cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes upwards and will just drape more on a smaller size. There are some tiny areas of a slight darkening to the silk on the front near the seam under the waist area. There is so much fabric and draping that for the most part all this is hidden when it is on but it is there. Please see the photo after the label shot.

Bust: 15-17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 11-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 16-23" flat across from side seam to side seam
Length: 61" from top of shoulder to hem and the overlay extends another 10" past that

Modern Sizing Equivalent: XXS-MED

Nice looking, easy to read, comfortable silicone strap, hard to buckle.
Color: Black
This watch has all the features other Ironman watches have plus a 100 lap interval timer. The interval timer is possibly the reason this watch is slightly more expensive than the other IM variants with the same size and general appearance. I find this watch to be nicer looking when going out to dinner than the more common multi-colored IM watches, though most of the functions are available on the others. My previous Ironman watch had a resin strap, which was somewhate stiff when putting it on. It was comfortable enough wearing on the river, but later in the day I sometimes took it off for comfort. This watch has a soft, stretchy, more comfortable silicone strap, that, sadly, is hard to buckle and tuck-in.

Longtime Ironman Wearer -- I Hate This Watch
Color: Black
I've worn the old Ironman 100 Lap Watch for Years I would still be wearing those watches if the Indigo on them didn't consistently fail. My main requisite is large, easy to read digital display, and the ability to turn the Indiglo on 20 seconds a day once or twice to see time in dark. If I could have found a simple watch with a large display made by any other reputable manufacturer I would have bought it instead. I have truly come to dislike Timex because their Indiglo fails so consistently, on (5) different Ironman's I've owned. Doubt this one'll be any better, viewing it a disposable purchase after a year. Unsurprisingly, Timex is an American company, all marketing no quality, and yes I'm an American, looking at something Casio Seiko, Swiss or Japanese made. They get fundamentals right in terms of quality. The band on this is redesigned. Grippier. Tougher to adjust or put on, but more apt to stay on and not slide once on. I'm used to the old band, don't love or hate this new one. I will usually take my watch off while typing for a long time, not as easy to do with this, not a dealbreaker, can see the sense in making a swimming and exercise watchband a bit tougher. I hate the branding on this watch. Bright red Ironman logo on both ends of the band near the watch. Even worse is the Timex and Ironman words ATOP the glass on the watch. This means they throw shadows down onto the watch face below the glass. This effect gets even worse with the magnification underwater. Inexcusable design flaw, simply so some corporation can self-advertise its products. The combination of these two sets of branding make the watch look cheap, gaudy, and inappropriate for any remotely formal wearing. This would not have been the case if it was understated in color scheme. Without the two red marks on the band, and the absolutely moronic decision to place the branding on the watch glass, you have something understated you could get away wearing all the time. Not with the branding. There are also two lines running horizontally above and below the time. I hate these when I'm looking at it underwater. Haven't tried the lap functions yet, I usually open lake swim, maybe the lines help with that, but for my use I hate them. I'm 6'4" tall, people complain the watch is big, it feels to me if anything a bit undersized or the proper size, others may find it big. I would rather have a slightly larger size with bigger numbers. Biggest plus is time SUPER easy to read. I'd love to be able to turn date off and only have time display and nothing else in some mode. I don't need to check the date 6 times a day. Love to have mode where I press one button, upper left say, and date shows for five seconds or something. Indiglo about the same as old big Ironman 100, excellent--when it doesn't break which it almost always does. I have many of these watches where the time still shows but Indiglo never works, Timex themselves admitted to me this is a known problem. The rounder face, versus rectangular, better looks, but wonder if it is optimal way to make most readable. I would pass on this watch. I have always liked Ironman watches, but the branding is so bad, glass especially, and the absymal quality of Timex Indiglo, are unacceptable.

Cool & functional
Color: Pink
Attractive watch. Simplistic, yet cannot understand everything without not having instructions. Watch did no come with instructions, which became hard to figure out all its functions.

Excellent watch
Color: Black, Gray
Great watch. Waterproof and I use the timer all the time. I'm on my 3rd or 4th one over 20 to 25 years. When the battery dies, I just buy another one because at that point in time the band is usually also going bad.
