How can you tell if an Alexander McQueen dress is real?
To tell if an Alexander McQueen dress is real, look at the brand label tag inside the neck. Counterfeiters often make mistakes in copying the font style, character size and spacing. You can often spot fakes by comparing labels to images of authentic tags shared on trusted online resources. Next, look carefully at the seams along the hemline, sleeves, waist and other areas. Uneven, loose or misaligned stitching will usually indicate a replica. If you have any lingering doubts about the authenticity of your dress, consult a certified appraiser or expert authenticator.
