2022 Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Silk Chiffon Dress w Silver Bead Detailed Bodice

  • This dress is from the 2022 collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Sarah Burton.
  • we found a photo of the dress on so you can see how it works on an actual body.
  • The dress is made from layers of an off-white ivory silk chiffon that floats beautifully over the body. 
  • Tiny adjustable straps curve up and over your shoulder to connect at the sides of the bodice and back. You would have the option to tuck the straps in and wear this as a strapless dress if you wished.
  • The bodice is cupped and inside there are wired inner cups to hold the shape and give you structure and support.
  • Onto the bodice is a beautiful and elaborate design made out of a braided silver thread, silver tube beads, and prong set rhinestones and beads in various sizes. These are set over the bodice to form a design of leafs and vines that swirl deep into each side. 
  • The silk chiffon falls from under there and flows all the way down to the floor. The movement the silk chiffon has is incredible. The fabric is very light in weight so that when you move it swirls around you.
  • There are extra panels of the silk chiffon attached along the upper edge of the back. these fold inwards from the sides and i love how to silk is swept slight towards them. These fall to the floor to give a beautiful caped feel to the back. 
  • It is a very striking and romantic feeling dress. 
  • The dress is fully lined in an ivory silk and closes with a back hidden set zipper. There is a built-in inner corset that is boned and cupped. I see a tiny repair near the hem of the skirt and there is a little bit of very minor pulling here and there.
