Mary McFadden is an interesting designer.

Her early pieces and couture line are often stunning and beautiful pieces but later, mass produced, licensed lines produced pieces that are often atrocious.

It is a faux criss crossed bodice so the pleating really shines through - the skirt drapes form that bodice beautifully.
