The Dress

This is an inspired, one-off Alexander McQueen dress from his 2015 collection. To describe this dress as elegant and sophisticated would be to understate its beauty. It is a floor-length, white gown made from acetato. Acetato is a unique, modern material made from a combination of satin and rayon, which drapes over a woman’s figure without clinging. Put another way, this dress and its unique material accentuates a woman’s natural beauties in a way that is subtle in its allure. The dress has a round next line and is sleeveless. Although it is a simple column dress, it’s the cut-ins in the front and back that draws the attention of others and identifies this dress as sophisticated.

I purchased the dress from David Jones Bridal in Sydney and paid $5000. The dress tag size is 42 European, but, as a guide, I usually wear a size 8 and could send you my exact measurements on request. The length of the dress from shoulder to hem is 152.50 cm (I am 170 cm and the heels I wore on the day were 8 cm; alterations to the length could be easily made though) and includes built-in padded bra cups. The dress has not been dry cleaned, but could arrange this at request.

If you’re looking for a unique dress to compliment your very special day, there is no comparison. While all brides receive compliments about their dress and how they look, there is an undoubted genuineness that accompanies the compliments of this garment.
