This McQ dress is especially interesting. One might imagine that the original safety pin covered dress was created and then photographed. That photo would then be transferred onto fabric used to create this basic shift dress. It is the idea of couture made available at a lower price. Ingenious it may be, but couture it is not. New project: recreate this dress but for real. Also: buy many safety pins.
