The fabric is fine silk devoré velvet, achieved through a process of chemically dissolving the velvet pile in a burnout technique to leave a sheer silk chiffon base, shifting between opacity and near-transparency as the wearer moves. Cut on the bias, the corset is built into the body of the dress, invisible from the front but exposed at the back. A chain at the halterneck runs down the back and attaches to the fabric of the skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlexander McQueen black evening gown in fine silk devoré velvet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCut on the bias with floor-length skirt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntricate gothic-inspired velvet pattern with stained-glass window and heraldic motifs over sheer silk chiffon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDraped cowl neckline\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack silk velvet halterneck straps continuing into side panels that drape loosely over the open back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt-in internal corset in silk organza with boning \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack fastened with brass chain detail linking neckline to corset\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow, open back exposing the corset \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabelled size IT 38 (please refer to measurements for accurate fit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements are taken with the garment laid flat:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorset:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest 38 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist 32 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDress:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 165 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alexander McQueen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55904026460504,"sku":"C-0283","price":7851.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/6081\/8776\/files\/McQuennDevoreDress-3.jpg?v=1778645478","url":"https:\/\/epoquecouture.com\/products\/alexander-mcqueen-black-devore-velvet-evening-gown-aw-2004","provider":"Epoque Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
