The Halter

Daring enough to pull off a halter dress?

The allo-classic look of a halter top, or halterneck, has been around for generations. Becoming popular in the nineteen fifties when the short-bottom bathing suits were introduced, displaying the coveted new design of the halter top. This controversial and revealing top became a hit in an age when exposed skin was a no-no. Despite any issues, this design quickly spread to the shirts and dresses of the time helping to expose the sexy and stunning appeal of a ladies shoulders.

We’ve branched far since then. The diversity has made us more accepting society and we have claimed some glamor along the way. There have been many typical designs that have not changed a bit since their original introduction, but the halter top is by far the most original and unchanged design in tops. It’s wide range of uses has made it a versatile look that has not aged through the years.

The halter has always been a favorite at the prom. And lately, with the incorporation of shorter dress designs, the halter has become a far more allo look.

Even though the short, bobbed dresses were popular in the nineteen fifties they have regained momentum and have come back at full speed. And even though the patterns and/or fabrics have changed, the subtle differences are minute. We are bringing sexy back in an old school form and revamping the classic halter to meet our twenty-first century fashion demands.

It is fun to see the forms of past generations handed back to us with the same simplistic beauty that they displayed so many years ago. Today’s Mothers are sending their Daughters out the door, on prom night, wearing dresses that caress the style that was being portrayed in the years that they were attending prom. The hairstyles, accessories, and certainly the shoes have changed but the ageless style of certain aspects, such as the halter-style, has not changed.
