This Vivienne Westwood piece is expertly made in Italy.
How should I store this dress?
Store it on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag to keep the fabric dust-free and maintain the structural integrity of the bustier.
What size is the dress mentioned in this guide?
The primary variant highlighted is a UK size 16, though other sizes may be available depending on current availability.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty with the concealed zipper
Ensure the garment is fully relaxed on your body before zipping. If resistance occurs, check for fabric caught in the teeth and gently pull the fabric away before continuing.
Fabric appears wrinkled
Do not attempt to iron directly; take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who can safely steam the material without damaging the pleats or structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vivienne Westwood garment, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. The dress features a concealed zipper at the rear; ensure the area is clear of fabric before zipping to avoid snagging. Due to the complex construction and the delicate nature of the draping, this garment is strictly dry clean only. We recommend storing the dress in a breathable garment bag on a padded hanger to preserve the shape of the bustier and prevent the fabric from wrinkling or snagging on other items in your wardrobe.
