The Alexander McQueen site says of this collection:

1960s Gigi Young Blue Floral Sun Dress designer-oleg-cassini The gold is a trueVery, very pretty blue polished cotton dress with huge blue tulips screened onto it by Gigi Young, which was the sister label to the Suzy Perette line. I love the huge deeper ocean blue washed floral print that tops the paler, baby blue backdrop from shoulder to hem it is the perfect combination of blues and right on trend with the feminine, romantic look of the season. The neckline is scooped at the front and has a slightly deeper scoop at the back.
