Sarah Burton described her inspiration behind the Spring/Summer 2019 collection as sisterhood, women's milestones and rituals: birth, christenings, weddings, funerals. The looks brought tenderness and strength together. "It's about being strong and emotional, but also saying it's ok to show your vulnerability; not to have to put a brave face on it."

Retail price of this dress would be £45,000.
