Vivienne Westwood Long Monday Pulling Dress - Red - Checkered - UK 10

The 'Pulling' technique is an experimental method developed by Vivienne Westwood that involves draping and gathering fabric to create sculptural volume and structure, setting it apart from traditional tailoring.

The dress is crafted from 100% high-quality cotton, offering breathability and comfort.

The dress should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle.

While it's a statement piece, its avant-garde design makes it best suited for fashion-forward events, art openings, or upscale social gatherings rather than very traditional formal events.

It refers to a hand-drawn interpretation of a checkered pattern, giving it a unique, artistic, and slightly irregular appearance.

The provided product description does not mention pockets. The focus is on the draped and ruched construction.

The dress features a partially buttoned front closure.

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger to maintain the drape. Minor adjustments to the ruched areas may be needed after washing.

Check that the wash temperature was correct (30 degrees). Avoid harsh detergents. Air drying can sometimes result in stiffness; a low-heat tumble dry or gentle ironing might help restore softness.

Ensure the garment was washed inside out and in cold water (30 degrees). Avoid direct sunlight during drying, as this can cause fading.
