Incredible Fall 2006 Alexander McQueen Black Cashmere Coat w Detachable Fur Collar designer-travilla Made of a fine light

Made of a fine light challis that holds the shape and color beautifully but is not heavy or bulky at all

The top is cut peasant style and has elastic at the waist and neck

The dress appears to be unworn  or to have been worn very little

Plus it is just amazing regardless of its provenance and is definitely a dress that stands on its own merit

Lining the top layer is an inner layer of black silk chiffon so that it is wearable and not sheer

Incredible Fall 2006 Alexander McQueen Black Cashmere Coat w Detachable Fur Collar designer-travilla Made of a fine lightMy client purchased this coat and it was actually her husband who found it for her that day in the shop and brought it over. I'm sharing this story because there is a little additional component to it that I love. Alexander was in the shop that day and as her husband was walking it over, he noticed and came over and held it while she slipped it on. She was debating whether to go with this size or the size up and Lee insisted that she wear this size.
