1978 Halston Resort Swimwear Red Floral Jersey Halter Dress designer-sonia-rykiel Note that is was too

Note that is was too small on the mannequin to close properly on the back - on the right size girl it will close perfectly

Rarely have I seen such a fine and elaborate example of the Dior label come to market as this extraordinary dress
