1970s Travilla Ivory Sunburst Pleated Halter Gown
Circa 1970s. Label reads I. Magnin; Travilla. Deep V-neckline with accordion pleats and bow detail. Lined. Back zipper closure; clasp closures along the neck. Excellent condition. This stunning floor-length dress features signature all-over sunburst accordion pleats and a plunging halter neckline reminiscent of William "Billy" Travilla's most legendary creation—the iconic subway grate dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch (1955). This specific 1970s white satin/crepe iteration includes a delicate gathering and a stylized fabric rose or bow detail right at the central empire waist, showcasing the designer's mastery of glamorous, fluid draping.
