An \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eerudite art collector, world traveller, and lover of history, she made a name for herself by drawing inspiration from the traditional textiles and art objects she picked up along the way. \u003c\/span\u003eThe incredible beadwork on this piece, which features dozens of different beads, is an example of how she transformed this ancient inspiration to modern designs. Aside from the statement of the sleeves, I adore the shape of this dress. The silk is quilted—a signature Mary McFadden technique—to create structure. Though it falls at an A-line, it maintains its shape in an unusual way, giving an architectural effect. It could also be hemmed to make it more of a mini! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eMeasurements: Note that it is not meant to be fitted to the body; it's likely best for an \u003cstrong\u003eX-Small, Small, and possibly Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e with smaller chest, but please refer to below measurements to be sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eShoulders: 13\"\u003cbr\u003eChest: 35\"\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 31\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: just shy of 34\" from shoulder to hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGreat vintage condition overall, with some minor repairs to the beadwork in a specific spot, but it blends in with the intricate design\/texture and is not noticeable when worn.
