Product Information

Full details

The Vivienne Westwood Chichi Draped Plaid Maxi Dress is an elegant, floor-length garment designed for adult women who appreciate iconic 19th-century inspired Scottish tartan aesthetics combined with modern couture silhouettes. Its primary benefit is the versatile styling offered by an internal drawstring, which transforms the skirt into an asymmetric ruched drape for a bespoke fit; however, owners should note that this luxury polyester piece requires professional dry cleaning to maintain its subtle sheen and structural integrity.

FAQs

How should I clean the Chichi Draped Plaid Maxi Dress?

This garment is dry clean only. Please take it to a professional dry cleaner to maintain the fabric's sheen and structural integrity.

Can I adjust the length of the dress?

While it is a floor-length dress, the internal drawstring allows you to gather the skirt, which effectively changes the drape and aesthetic of the hemline.

Does the dress include a built-in bra?

Yes, it features a built-in bustier which provides structural support and shape to the bodice.

Where is this garment manufactured?

This Vivienne Westwood dress is made in Italy.

What is the primary material used?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester designed with a subtle sheen.

Is the plaid pattern consistent across all sizes?

Yes, the dress utilizes the classic Buchanan tartan design consistently across all available sizes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty with the internal drawstring

Ensure the dress is fully unzipped and laid flat to locate the toggle. Pull gently and evenly to ensure the ruching is distributed symmetrically.

Bustier feels restrictive

Ensure the concealed back zipper is fully closed and the bodice is positioned correctly on the torso. If it remains too tight, consider professional alterations to the seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile styling via adjustable internal drawstring
  • Built-in bustier provides excellent structure and support
  • Sophisticated, timeless Buchanan tartan aesthetic
  • High-quality Italian construction

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning only
  • Polyester material requires careful handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Vivienne Westwood Chichi dress in pristine condition, always store it hanging in a garment bag to avoid snagging the fabric. Because the dress features a structured bustier, ensure it is hung on a high-quality hanger that supports the weight of the bodice. Due to the delicate nature of the woven sheen and the technical construction, the garment must be taken to a professional dry cleaner for any maintenance. Do not attempt to wash this item at home, as mechanical agitation or water submersion may damage the internal bustier structure and the subtle finish of the plaid fabric.
