Spring 2008 Alexander McQueen Draped Red Silk Dress w Twisted Deep Front Plunge

  • A production piece from the Spring 2008 collection
  • Under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen
  • Made from a red liquid silk. Both the cut and fabric are reminiscent of pieces from the thirties and forties 
  • Wide straps curve over the shoulders and extend down to form the halter feeling bust
  • It has a deep front plunge and the fabric is gathered into a centre knot at the base of the plunge.
  • At the back the dress falls in one swoop down from the shoulders
  • An extra panel of fabric is created from the front knot and it runs down the centre of the dress all the way to the hem. It creates that beautiful draping and also gives the skirt incredible movement. 
  • Fully lined in a red silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper.
  • The bias cut should allow it to work on a range of sizes. I have put the comfortable range of measurements below when laying flat.
  •  In its original length and appears to have never been worn or worn very little
  • Tagged a McQueen 46
  • Excellent condition 

Bust: 17-20" flat across from side seam to side seam with a B-C cup
Waist: 13-15" flat across from side seam to side seam
