@islandgrrl, would you mind saying which size you purchased? Mine should be delivered tomorrow or Tuesday, but I'd like to get a better idea about size just in case I want to get another color. Thanks!

I just can't imagine him ever designing for the XL on up. He wouldn't have done it. Whomever bought his name/co. is doing the production of clothing for the masses and it just won't ever be the same. It's unfortunate he's passed on but I wonder if he would have even considered selling on the Q were he alive today.

If you remember Halston, then you must remember that he did a licensing deal with JCPenney's in 1983 and sold Halston Clothing, Accessories and Perfume there! I guess that answers your question about what he would do---he already did! The deal damaged his reputation and was a disaster! I saw a documentary about it last year. His high end clients dropped him as well as high end retailers. He lost the use of his name---tried to buy it back, but failed. He died in 1990.
And why his name has more or less lost it's cachet for over 30 years....
I rather liked what I saw as far as QVC's Halston line up..... but am pretty done with fly away sweaters no matter the length (coming up TSV).....

Wonder if there will be any "new" iitems for the TSV shows. These shoes are posted. Look nice for the fall/winter season. Diggin the block heel that seems to be trending.

@Chi-town girl, love those burgundy shoes. I can't seem to get enough of that color this season. I just wish they hadn't done the heel with suede. I know I'd ruin those heels pretty quickly.

Also, I have received the scoop neck top you have on waitlist (in black) and like it so much that I have ordered the gray.
@islandgrrl & anyone else that preordered the Halston TSV, please post a review. Sizing? Quality? Fabric & design? I will prob wait to order when it's presented at midnight but would love to read some review info. Thanks!!!
Thanks for asking about this duster. I think @MaggieMack and I both posted about it somewhere but who knows where? I'll give my thoughts and hopefully Maggie and others will join in. First off, I love it. Love the length, the feel of the fabric, and the cut. On me it is a little roomy but not a shapeless fit. An unexpected treat is that the duster can be worn as a dress with a cami or tank underneath. It is really cute that way but certainly works as an open duster too. I see getting lots of wear out it because of that dual possibility. I am typically a 10/12 medium -- carrying my weight in my bust and belly -- I am narrow through the hips and thighs. I believe Maggie is very slender so together we aren't the best reps for how this will fit on a pear shape -- thought I'd throw that in as info.
VERY happy I bought this. I got black but really love the way the gray looks. I'm going to try to be good and not get two since I don't yet know how it wears over time. Hope that helps!
@islandgrrl, @Chi-town girl@, @anyone-else, haha. Yes, I did post on some thread somewhere about the duster, which I purchased in gray since that is a duster color I didn't have. I ordered XS, prob could get by with XXS, I'm 5'7" 120#. Arrives all buttoned up so I just slipped over my head like a dress. Looked cute that way (needs a Cami), then I unbuttoned it line a traditional duster. Love it that way! Color is pretty, fabric is soft and yummy. Def a keeper. Wish there were more colors 'cause I already have the other ones they offer in other brands. Go for it!

@Chi-town girl, @islandgrrl, and anyone else: Yes, I did post somewhere on some thread about the duster. Love it! Ordered in the granite since I don't have a duster in the grays. Came buttoned up so I slipped it on like a dress, looked cute that way (with a Cami). Unbuttoned as a flyaway and love it even more that way. Super soft and yummy. Got an XS, could have used an XXS, 5'7" 120#, large on top, narrow hips. Love this duster! Just do it!
PS: I also got the scoop neck top in the wine in XS. Love it, too!

@MaggieMack-thx for posting! The Granite/gray duster is coming home to me. That Halston cranberry/wine tone is so nice. With all the highly rated/positive reviews for that swing top, they should reorder it & in more colors! The blush will look great with my heathered gray leggings-excited to get both of my Halston purchases

My apologies! I thought I mentioned that I sized up to a large -- I meant to say that -- it is an important piece of fit information. As mentioned I have broad shoulders and am on the busty side (D/DD) my normal 10/12 medium is very consistent in pants but sometimes a medium button down shirt or sweater can pull across my chest. I dislike not being able to easily button a top so I went up.
While that is what I did, I could have/probably should have gone with the medium, therefore my advice is to stay with your normal size.
But because I went up, I can easily, easily button it all the way up and wear it as a dress. I'm sure I could have done that with the medium too but now I can layer more than a cami underneath.
But again, I would stick with your usual size...this is not a tight fitting duster. And as Maggie said, she could have gone down a size to XXS if they offered it.
HTH!

@islandgrrl, thanks so much for the size info! Sounds like we have the same bust issues. I have usually worn a small in most Q clothing, but sized up to a petite medium on this for the very reason you mentioned. Mine is out for delivery, and I'm hoping it shows up early so I can order the petite small if necessary. Again, appreciate your help!

I think the TSV looks very nice. I like the pink and blue. That being said....it's REALLY long. I'm five 8, and I think the models are five 8 and taller. It looks even too long on them. I think I'm passing just due to the length.
