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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is cut to flow over the body and skims over the bust, waist and hips to the floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline is cut more straight across the front and then each shoulder has an elaborate embellishment added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovering 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo size tag is present.
