This dress is an incredible piece of Halston history. Its twin walked the runway for the Resort 1979 show and the original sketch appears in one of the Halston books and it has the added provenance of the dress that was lent to and worn by Emmanuelle Chriqui in 2002. This is classic Halston from his main label couture line. It is incredibly chic and sexy and one of two important Halston pieces I have for you today. This is an incredible example of his work from this time period. 

This is an amazing couture Halston dress that is a very rare and special find. It is entirely cut on the bias and utilizes his signature minimal seaming. Halston defined how woman dressed in the 1970s and these jersey dresses that he did were tremendously flattering to the body. It is also insanely sexy with the cut out at the front that leaves your stomach bare. The fabric is a beautiful and very light black silk jersey that moves and drapes fantastically. The neckline is scooped with a piped edge that extends up and behind the neck where it hooks into place. On either side of the scoop at the front the fabric extends into panels that create a halter shape. The panels curve down on an angle and secure into the sides of the waist. This leaves the middle part of the stomach bare and open. The panels are then gathered into the piping at the top and wrap around the back in a low curve. The entire back is completely bare and exposed and it is so sexy. The skirt flares out from there and it has a ton of movement when you move. It is spectacular. The jersey is very fine and light and it is cut on the bias and there are yards of it in the skirt. I love that he cut the sides of the skirt slightly longer then the front so you get a bit of a sweeping feel around you. This also helps the skirt to pick up the air when you move so that it billows around you as you walk. Inside the skirt there is an inner layer of silk chiffon and that helps to soften out any bumps underneath the top layer and helps to make it very flattering to wear. This is a very rare example of Halston at the top of his game. It is easy to see why his work is the subject of so many books and retrospective shows at museums worldwide. Excellent condition with a tiny note below.

The bodice is made from two layers of the silk jersey and the skirt has an inner silk chiffon lining. The dress hooks to close with two set so of hooks and then it snaps and hooks below the back of the waist. Hand finished. I see some tiny, snags and pin holes along the hem here and there. The fabric has some stretch but the waist has no give.

Bust: The front halter should accommodate a variety of cup sizes. It is approximately 14 to 17" flat across the front
Waist: 12"
Hips: open
Bodice: approx 15" from neck to waist
Total length: approx 50" from shoulder to longest points of the hem

A Dark Fantasy that hooks you from the start!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️ Right from the prologue, I was hooked. Ella wastes no time diving into an intense scene, but definitely be sure to read the trigger warnings! I was immediately drawn into this dark fantasy world, and even more so by the slow-burn tension, witty banter, and the strong sense of family that forms throughout the story. What I really loved is that Darius, the Queen’s illegitimate son and captain of the guard, is the main focus of the book. Broken and struggling to navigate the prejudices against him, Darius is caught between playing the political games and wanting to be accepted. He’s also investigating a growing threat: demons, who have always been a manageable evil, are suddenly multiplying and attacking in larger groups. His focus shifts when Lena, a mysterious foreigner with an aura that can’t be ignored, arrives on the scene. She’s not quite human—something other—and I found myself just as captivated as Darius, trying to uncover who she is and what role she has in his life. The tension and spice had me reading into the late hours of the night - romantasy readers are going to devour this book! This book also does an excellent job of challenging stereotypes, labels, and unconscious bias. I love how Ella seamlessly weaves these complex themes into the plot, and how the characters navigate them in ways that feel authentic and thought-provoking. 🎧 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another highlight was the narration by Laura Horowitz! She does an amazing job bringing the characters to life with different accents and voices, capturing Amara’s sassiness and Lena’s mysterious nature perfectly. It took me a little while to adjust to Darius' narration, though—it wasn’t quite what I had imagined for him or other male characters. But once I sped it up to 2.0, it felt much better. As for Kace and Griffin, I still struggled a bit with their voices, especially Kace, whose tone came off more like a silly jester than the commanding yet light-hearted character I envisioned.

My current fave! Total must-read!
Format: Kindle
To Bleed a Kingdom" is an absolute rollercoaster of a read that I couldn't put down! From the get-go, Dawes throws you into the thick of it with a horrific scene that sets the stage of Seboia. It will leave you in shock. Major trigger there, but honestly, I will say it was done so tastefully I really appreciated having it on the offset! Then we meet the brooding, forgotten Captain Darius. He’s a mountain of a man, terrifying, but has an absolute heart of gold. He’s fighting to protect his Kingdom in the midst of immense chaos from the terrifying Soulless. And then there's Lena, a fierce and intelligent leader who swoops in and turns Darius's world upside down. Their attraction to one another is seriously unwanted, particularly with all that’s going down. But it’s absolutely intoxicating and I can not get enough of it! But it's not just about the romance – oh no! Dawes is a master story teller, weaving in elements of suspense, mystery, a world of gods and fiendish supernatural creatures, and that much needed banter in a story like this. Lena and her gang of misfits are a riot, reminding me of the antics I used to get up to with my own sister. And let's talk about Darius's backstory – it's totally gut-wrenching, and so you’re instantly in love. I mean, who doesn't love a brooding, tortured hero? But the real star of the show here is the world-building. Dawes has created a rich and intricate universe filled with gods, fae, and supernatural creatures that all weaves in perfectly. The way she integrates gems and their significance is genius, adding a whole new layer to the story. If you're a fan of epic dark fantasy with a paranormal twist, this is the book for you. And don't even get me started on that cliffhanger – I'm already counting down the days until book two hits the shelves! Definite must-read.

Why can't they just TALK to each other?!
Format: Kindle
The prologue to this book was bloody and violent. I actually started this book then put it away for several months as I found it not enjoyable. When I finally returned to the book, I pretty much skipped the prologue and went right in. There are a lot of holes in this story, a lot of repetitive sections, and several parts (mostly the whole book) where you just want the lead characters to talk to each other instead of being petty and jealous. Who the female lead is, is never really explained. The humans are considered weak, but the human kingdom is the one they fear, just really weird. I did finish the book and it was overall a good book, and I may actually read the second book to see if any questions are answered and holes in the story filled in. Don't take that as an endorsement, if it was a really good book I would be reluctant to read more as I wouldn't want the story ruined, but just being so-so, there is nothing to ruin and maybe the next will be better. If you're on the fence stay there until you run out of better options, then give it a go.

A Stellar Dark Romantasy Debut
Format: Kindle
4.5 ⭐️ Yet another stellar debut from a promising new indie author! This dark fantasy romance was a fast-paced, thrilling ride, brimming with high stakes action and slow burn romance. The story was refreshing and original, and I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next. There was just enough world building to keep the story interesting, without overtaking the entire story. And I was fully invested in these characters, both the major players and the supporting cast. I loved the sprinkling of humor and playful banter between the whole ensemble. Even though the book encompasses some darker themes, these moments of levity created a beautiful balance within the story. I enjoyed the dynamic between Lena and Darius- there was a bit of an Insta-love situation, which can be tough trope for me to swallow. But they had some beautiful chemistry and banter, so it ended up all working for me. Still a lot of answers are left to be uncovered regarding Lena, which I’m sure will be addressed in the next book. Looking forward to seeing where everything goes, especially after the cliffhanger ending. 💀 All in all, an absolutely solid debut, and I am fully invested in this story. This author is definitely gonna make her mark in this genre. ✨Morally grey MMC ✨Strong FMC ✨Banter and humor ✨Touch her and 💀 ✨Found family ✨Shifters & fae ✨Unique magic system ✨Dual POV 🌶️Slow burn that leads to spice (1.5)

Great Start to a new Series
Format: Kindle
I whipped right through book #1, and definitely finished the book eager for more. The main and supporting characters are all intriguing and well fleshed out. The humor, romance and action are all really well balanced. The one challenge I did feel the middle dragged a bit, a little repetitive with lots of wanting and talking about things but nothing happened until the end basically, but either way, I really enjoyed it!
