FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Mini Sunday Dress?

The design is inspired by the styles worn by high-society women of 18th-century salon culture, reimagined with a modern mini-length finish.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from cotton.

How should I clean this dress?

Dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric and the decorative orb motif.

Does the dress have pockets?

The product information does not specify if the dress has pockets.

What does the motif at the hip represent?

The motif is the iconic Vivienne Westwood multicoloured orb emblem.

Is this dress suitable for everyday wear?

Due to its unique design and delicate embellishments, it is best suited for special occasions or fashion-forward events rather than casual everyday wear.

Can I machine wash or tumble dry the dress?

No, machine washing or tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and the orb motif. Professional dry cleaning is advised.

Troubleshooting

Dress seems too tight in the bodice

Ensure the corset lacing (if applicable) is adjusted correctly. If still uncomfortable, consult the size chart for accurate measurements before purchase or consider professional tailoring.

Orb motif appears faded or damaged

Avoid direct heat and harsh detergents. If damage is significant, seek professional advice from a textile restorer or a Vivienne Westwood boutique for potential repair options.

Fabric is creased after storage

Hang the dress and allow gravity to reduce minor creases. For stubborn wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance and avoiding direct contact with the orb motif.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a dress, there is no 'setup' required beyond trying it on for fit. Compatibility refers to how well it pairs with other wardrobe items and accessories.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the design and the orb motif, dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and the embellishment's condition.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on the orb motif. A pressing cloth is advisable.
  • Storage: Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent creasing.
  • Wearing: Be mindful of sharp objects or rough surfaces that could snag the fabric or damage the motif.
