Sweetheart-Neck Corseted Woven Maxi Dress

We're sure you're already familiar with British brand Alexander McQueen's sartorial suiting, but what about its flamboyant dresses? The Lee McQueen archives inspired this cotton midi dress, though it's noticeably pared back compared with some of the late designer's more outlandish pieces. Cut with a sweetheart neckline to complement the slim shoulder straps, it whittles your waist with corseted boning and cascades over your frame in soft pleats to a floor-pooling hem.
