• This dress is from the Fall 2013 McQueen collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Sarah Burton.
• Charlize wore it's twin beautifully to an event that October.
• It is a beautiful dress that is very flattering on the body. McQueen was a master tailor and Sarah continued that same tradition during her era. The seam work and simplicity of this dress do not hide that fact.
• The dress is made is made from a beautifully light black crepe so it is easy to wear. The sculpted and shaped silhouette is classically McQueen.
• It is cut to flow over the body and skims over the bust, waist and hips to the floor.
• The shoulders have strong padding underneath. If you wanted a soft look, you could remove these, but they do help pull the structure there. The sleeves extend out from there and narrow to the zippered wrist.
• The neckline is cut more straight across the front and then each shoulder has an elaborate embellishment added.
• Covering the tops of the shoulder are gold leaves, gold, and more copper toe beads in various sizes and lengths as well as smaller silver beads. Mixed in with those are white and clear beads and then everything has been topped with prong set pink rhinestones.
• This elaborate embellishment curves over the top of each shoulder and then comes down the front into a point. It goes down the back of the shoulder as well, but not as deep.
• The back is a whole moment in itself. The sides ruffle down the back and then a tie extend out at the back of the neck to hold everything in place. This leaves a large expanse of skin bare and exposed.
• The waist has a more generous feel to it and then the skirt continues past that, curving over the hips and flares outwards as it reaches the hem.
• At the back there is extra fabric worked around the centre seam to give you a trained effect behind you. This flaring out at the bottom and the extra bit at the back give you fabulous movement when you walk or move.
  
• The dress is unlabeled. It is lined in a black silk through the skirt. It ties behind the neck and then closes with a hidden low set zipper at the back. Someone has tacked part of the back shut. I have not opened that up, but you could if you wanted or you can request me to prior to having it sent. There are hooks there that you could choose to leave more fully opened if you preferred a more open back. Each wrist has a hidden set zipper. Padding in the shoulders. It appears as if the front neckline was slightly altered. Priced accordingly. Please see the photos after the label shot.

• The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2009 Alexander McQueen runway for Look 24.
• It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen.
• The program notes told the audience of the Spring 2009 runway show that Mcqueen had been thinking of Charles Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest and 'the deleterious results of industrialization on the natural world'.
• The show was title 'Natural Dis-tinctions, Un-Natural Selection' and the McQueen book notes that 'the cat walk was filled with antique taxidermy, including an elephant giraffe tagger zebra and polar bear, in an art space that was formally of Paris morgue.'
• The twin of the dress was a part of the second portion of the show that was meant to 'continue to draw inspiration from natural forms, flowers, crystals and minerals, but here they were engineer with a hard as an enhanced to convey the synthetic qualities associated with modernity and human touch. Prints were angular and invoked crushed crystal, metallic structures such as the Eiffel tower and a granite mountain that was borrowed from a Dan Holdsworth triptych.'
• This collection was noted as being one of his most commercial to date during this time period and these print pieces especially had instant appeal. This is a very recognizable piece that can instantly  identify as being a McQueen.
• The dress is made out of an unusual fabric that is almost like a neoprene in the way it looks and feels and yet it is not a true neoprene. It is lighter and thinner with just enough weight to it to hold the shape but without it feeling restrictive on the body.
• The shape is built into the dress beginning at the shoulders. Each is lightly padded so that they sit up on top of the shoulders.
• It skims over the bust, nips in at the waist and then curves out at the hips. Even when laying flat you can see the shape built into the dress.
• At the neckline there is a keyhole that has a nude netting in behind it.
• The seams at the hip curve in and over the waist to just under the bust. This precise seaming and cut are all done to give that exact shape that he wished the piece to have.
• When styled on the runway with the plastered hair around the face it had an almost alien feel to it that was fantastic.
• It is an extraordinary piece of Alexander McQueen history.
• The dress is fully lined in a ivory tissue silk and it closes at the back with a hidden set zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
• Tagged a McQueen 38. 
• Excellent condition

• This gown dates to the 2010-2011 season.
• It was made (or completed) under the creative direction of Sarah Burton.
• The dress certainly would have been released when Sarah had taken over the reins of McQueen. The date of the hang tag does have it falling right in that window where Alexander could have had a hand in its design and then by its release it would have been under Sarah's era. It is a phenomenal example of how beautiful that the McQueen aesthetic can be. 
• The dress combines an ivory silk for the exterior and then the skirt of the inner dress underneath has been densely embroidered. It is a beautiful combination.
• The bodice is strapless and there is internal structure to hold it in place around the body including a cupped inner bust and boned hidden inner corset. The silk on the exterior has been placed over the bodice in flat pleats that are set on a slight angle and then open up into the skirt.
• The inner skirt is made from an added panel that has been embroidered in a soft pastel palette with just a hint of a metallic feel to it. It depicts flowers in soft golden taupe with pale blue and greens.
• The outer skirt curves up and around that inner panel and there is padding set into each hip to hold the shape.
• The skirt is draped over the padding of the hip and curves down to the floor to become an extended train at the back.
• At the centre of the back there is a wide folded panel of silk that is set vertically. It snaps into place over the back zipper and then extends outwards to become part of the skirt. All of the seaming is hidden underneath so the illusion of the panel simply flowing down into the skirt is perfectly maintained.
• The workmanship is exquisite and shows the extreme high tailoring that the McQueen label is known for. This is a very rare piece and would have been made in limited quantities.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching ivory silk with a full built-in corset that extends to the top of the hips. There are wired cups in the bodice and it has hidden boning throughout. There is hidden padding through the hip as described above. The panel at the back snaps into place with silk covered snaps and then the dress closes with a hidden set zipper under that. The inner corset closes with its own zipper. I see some minor grubbiness at the hem but the dress is new with tags and was never worn.

• This dress is from the Spring 2007 Alexander McQueen collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen.
• This is the all black production version dress of the printed dress that walked the runway for that collection.
• Elle Fanning wore is twin in 2022 and I love having the photos and video so you can see how phenomenal this is once on and moving.
• We have also added the video of the printed version so you can see more of how this moves once it is on the body.
• The dress is made out of a black on black patterned bias cut silk. The print is worked directly into the silk with a thatched feeling background and then there are flowers that are worked over the entire dress. I love how this picks the light up and really adds texture and movement to the dress once it is on.
• A ruffle follows the neckline and extends out over top of the tiny cap sleeve on that side. The other side is caught up with a little half bow at the front and then the strap gets thinner and curves over to attach into the back. I love how this creates a scoop at the front and the back.
• Once it is on an actual body it sits wider across and more like the photos of the one on Elle and of the runway version. My dress form has no chest so it sits lower than it will on an actual body.
• It skims over the bust, waist and hips in a beautiful bias cut that lets it fall over you and accentuate your curves.
• The skirt is phenomenal. He has set it into the dress in a series of upward curving peaks and then each peak tops a panel of silk that widens out substantially by the hem. This is what gives the dress its amazing movement and the phenomenal sweep of the lower skirt.
• There are yards and yards of silk making up that lower skirt. As you move you get a bit of trailing effect of the back skirt behind you. 
  
• This is a very rare and very special McQueen piece and really shows you the extent of his masterful seam-work and how he could handle a bias cut piece as easily as his highly tailored pieces.
• The dress is fully lined in a black silk up to where the skirt attaches and then the lower skirt is unlined. It slips on to wear with no closures. The bias cut will allow it to fit a range of sizes and I have put the comfortable range below. It is in its original uncut length and appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• 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.
