Description
This early Alexander McQueen vintage dress is a collector's piece that can be worn in the day or evening. Alexander McQueen designed this white dress for his Spring/Summer 1996 "The Hunger" collection.
This incredible dress has a tube fitting bodice with spaghetti straps and fits like a mini dress with attached asymmetrical layered sheer silk crepe overlaying down to the knee. The layered skirt has beautiful movement and features ribbon trim along the hem with gray top stitching. This topstitching continues to the bodice along the seams for that beautifully tailored look McQueen is so well known for.
For The Hunger, McQueen took his inspiration from Tony Scott’s movie of the same name. This campy vampire film starred David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve.
This dress closes with an off center zipper and hook and eye at the top. The bodice portion of this dress is a cotton, polyester and elastain blend, and the skirt layers are a fine 100% silk. The bodice has a small amount of stretch due to the elastain content and is meant to be worn very fitted.
This iconic Alexander McQueen dress fits like a US size 0/2.

Measuring & Fit Guide
We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.
The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.
View our video guide to taking accurate body measurements:
We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:
| DRESSES | PANTS | |
|
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement. |
Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements |
|
|
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement. |
LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam. | |
| HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement. | RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband. | |
| LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement. | INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam. | |
|
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.** |
*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.
**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve. 
Feel free to email us with specific questions about specific measurements that we may not have included that you need to know in order to feel confident about your purchase. If you have a particularly long torso, short legs, long arms, etc.. we can help you determine whether or not a garment will work for your body.
