CLOTHING:

ALEXANDER McQUEEN White Fit-N-Flare Dress with Black and Pink Over-Sized Dots, Size M

Alexander McQueen’s design has always been an unexpected approach to fashion.  This dress has a seemingly simple silhouette, but the over-sized black and pink spots give it that creative appeal that only Alexander McQueen can offer.  Fun and flirty, the densely-weighted viscose/poly knit blend flounces and bounces coquettishly, and the large polka-dots add bold playfulness.  A great dress for afternoon parties on the lawn, baby showers, or a summer’s night out on the town.  Size L, but fits like a Medium.  Our price is $349.

JASON WU Dark Navy Corset Asymmetrical Corset Dress, Size 8 – SOLD
