Custom made white dress featuring red-embroidered eyelet, a tiered skirt with scalloped hem, long sleeves, white cuffs, a high collar, a white belt, and delicately painted buttons. Inspired by the Sarah Burton’s resort 2017 collection for Alexander McQueen.

I like the skirt of this dress as it looks very feminine and delicate but I find the top of the dress a bit too stern with the long sleeves and the high collar.
