This dress is still available. I think that it could work wonderfully for the right person out there, I paid way to much for it to let it go to "waste" so I wanted to relist.
This is a soft cotton hankerchief asymmetrical hem patchwork halter dress from McQ by Alexander McQueen.
It is shaped with darts through and over the bust. The halter straps, I realized, are designed to be worn in several ingenious ways. You can tie the halter straps behind your neck. You can also use loop the halter straps through the strings on which you hang the dress (see last image taken of the back) if you, like me, are small busted. If If you are busty enough, you can wear the straps tied as a ribbon at the chest, rather than around the neck.
One of the coolest things is the the lining -- it is a cotton "petticoat" which give the dress volume at the bottom.
The dress is a size Italian 36 and in McQ, an IT 36 equals Miu Miu sz 38 (which runs small.)
To tell if this dress will fit, measure yourself right below your bust (the narrowest point on the dress). I am 27" measured in that area, which I think is the the right size for the best fit. Cup can accommodate up to a full B cup. Length from top of bust to longest point on dress is 41".
For comparison, I am 5'4" 103-105 lbs.
