Lot 137 · 11 June 2024
01 / THE COLLAR

Pleated tulle & broderie anglaise.

Fine pleats of tulle frame the neck. Below, a cotton jabot is finished with broderie anglaise: contrasting textures against the bold tartan.

02 / THE TARTAN

Red-and-black tartan.

McQueen’s red-and-black tartan gives the dress its unmistakable presence. The catalogue places it in the Autumn–Winter 2006–07 “Widows of Culloden” collection.

03 / THE HEM

Lace, tulle & structure.

Black lace interrupts the tartan at the hem, with gathered tulle finishing the underskirt. The lot also included an ivory silk corset and bustle pad.
