He also kept the embellishments to the bare minimum throughout the collection. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe dress is made from a very fine knit that has a slight sheen to it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe various seams have been either surged and top stitched, or have been covered and highlighted with a silk cording. This use of the seams as a way to create design details within the dress is a very McQueen feeling signature and its use highlights the cut and line of the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline on the dress is a wide ribbed panel that has a lot of stretch. You could wear it up and off the shoulders but it is best worn as shown on the runway, stretched and pulled down to leave the shoulders bare and fully exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice is cut to skim over you and the sleeves are long. Each sleeve has some fullness above its four inch cuff. On the runway, they pulled the cuff up and inside so you just saw the part that blouses over and not the cuffs itself. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom there it continues past the hips to the floor. If you thought the way the seams have been detailed on the bodice was well done the skirt is magical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStacked side by side are peaked panels whose tops sit at different heights around the entire skirt. Each has a touch of open cut work around their seams which gives the dress more depth and detail. This piecing of the side by side panels also allows the skirt to have more of a flare at its bottom. You can see how beautifully it moves in the runway video here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is an iconic piece of McQueen's history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in an ivory stretch lingerie type fabric and slips over the head to wear. The stretch of the fabric should allow it to accommodate a variety of sizes. The measurements below are the comfortable range when the dress is laying flat. I see a tiny area on the knit where it misses a stitch and there is a snag in the knit just above the hem at the back. Please see the photos after the label shot. Any change in colour you see is just the lighting. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a McQueen 38. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition with the note above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeves: 25\"\u003cbr\u003eShoulders: variable\u003cbr\u003eBust: 17-21\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 11.5-15\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: 17-22\" flat across from side seam to side seam \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: approx 60\" from the top of the natural shoulder to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5706\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReference Photos\/Video: Fall 2004 Alexander McQueen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
