FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The dress is ideal for fashion-forward events, parties, gallery visits, or any occasion where a unique and stylish statement piece is desired. Its design balances historical inspiration with modern trends.

How does the corset-inspired silhouette fit?

The silhouette is designed to be close-fitting through the bodice, mimicking the structure of a corset for a defined shape. It's important to consult the size guide for the best fit.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash cold or opt for professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the 100% cotton fabric and the details of the garment.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is made from 100% high-quality cotton.

Where is the Vivienne Westwood Mini Sunday Dress made?

This dress is manufactured in Italy.

How should I iron the dress?

Iron on a low heat setting and always iron the dress inside out to protect the outer fabric and the embroidered orb motif. Avoid direct heat on the motif.

What does the 'Sunday Dress' name signify?

The 'Sunday Dress' name references the house's original design, which has been reinterpreted with a modern mini-length finish for this season.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For persistent creases, dry clean or iron carefully on the reverse side on a low heat.

Embroidery or motif appears faded.

This may indicate exposure to harsh detergents or excessive heat. Ensure all washing and ironing instructions are strictly followed. Professional dry cleaning is the safest option for preserving the design.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
