Though I am really drawn to taking the "sweet" out of a floral, I would prefer it to be done without a cigarette reference. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-gorgeous-is-this-mcqueen-floral-dress#post-1481928 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 00:23:25 +0000 Echo 1481928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, Una, everytime I see this dress I think of you for some reason. Have you considered it? It's on sale!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-gorgeous-is-this-mcqueen-floral-dress#post-1481904 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 23:28:28 +0000 Janet 1481904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I'm with Rachy. I like that it's pretty from far away and the meaning changes as you get a closer look. Of course, I have a habit/career based on looking at discarded things and making art out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-gorgeous-is-this-mcqueen-floral-dress#post-1481901 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 23:21:35 +0000 Echo 1481901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this, cigarette butts and all. To a casual onlooker, it looks like a floral, but it has a subversive quality because of the trash in the print. Love the concept AND the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-gorgeous-is-this-mcqueen-floral-dress#post-1481828 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:46:06 +0000 jackiec 1481828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I loved the dress at first too!

The print makes me love it even more than I already do. It's the right amount of wrong.
