Zip It Up, The Shape Is Done
You walk in looking pulled-together, and nobody can tell it took thirty seconds.
The waist looks smaller.
The line is smooth.
The pleats gather through a metal ring at your middle — so the fabric drapes over your stomach instead of clinging to it.
That's the part most bodycon dresses get wrong.
This one does the cinching for you.
Cut To Skim Through The Middle, With A Slit That Moves When You Sit
✓ Your waist looks smaller in seconds
The pleats pull in through a metal ring at the middle, gathering fabric right where you want it hidden.
✓ Drapes over your stomach instead of clinging
Most stretch dresses press flat against every lump. The gathered pleating gives the fabric somewhere to go.
✓ One dress, three different nights
Heels for the wedding. Boots and a coat for dinner. A blazer for the work party.
✓ Neckline that frames your face
The off-square asymmetrical cut opens across the collarbones and draws the eye up, not down.

Frequently asked questions
Does the slit stay closed when I sit down?
The slit sits on the side and the fabric has enough weight to fall back into place. Cross your legs and it lays flat.
Will the metal ring feel stiff or dig in when I'm seated?
No. The ring sits flat against the pleating and the knit around it gives, so it stays comfortable through a long dinner.
Can I wear a normal bra with the asymmetrical neckline?
Yes. The neckline sits high enough across the shoulders that standard straps stay covered on both sides.
Does the knit wrinkle in a suitcase?
Barely. The stretch polyester springs back on its own — hang it up for an hour and it settles.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.

Write to info@halstead.com with your usual size, your height and the piece you're looking at. We'll tell you what we would pick — usually within a few hours. We would far rather get it right the first time than process a return.

Coats: dry clean once or twice a season, stored on a broad wooden hanger.
Leather: wipe with a damp cloth, condition twice a year, never dry near heat.
