A flat wide metal hook fastens at the halter neck pieces at neck back. Excellent, original condition. Minor snags near zipper. Size 10. Scarf 67".

How to Marry a Millionaire, Bus Stop, Seven Year Itch and Gentleman Prefer Blonds. He won an Emmy for his designs for the famous 80's TV show Dallas. He understood the female form and the curvy hourglass figure and used a bias cut, halter neck and draping on many of his best known designs. Travilla attended Woodbury College in Los Angeles during the 50's where he studied fashion and costume design. He was a perfectionist, which shows in the quality construction of the garments he created.
