Vivienne Westwood Sunday Dress - Striped - UK 8

This Sunday dress was first featured in the Vivienne Westwood Spring-Summer 1997 'Vive La Bagatelle' collection.

The dress is made from 100% cotton.

The dress should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid tumble drying.

This garment is proudly made in Italy.

It refers to the dress's bodice being structured and shaped to create a defined waist and a sculpted look, similar to historical corsetry, without necessarily being a functional corset.

This guide is specifically for the Vivienne Westwood Sunday Dress in Burgundy Stripe, UK size 8.

The primary design feature is the signature striped pattern and the sculpted silhouette. There are no additional embellishments mentioned.

Ensure the concealed zipper is fully lowered before dressing. The corset-inspired design may require a specific way of putting on; try stepping into the dress or carefully pulling it over your head. If the issue persists, the size may not be suitable.

Air dry the dress immediately after washing. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, while the fabric is slightly damp. Ensure you are following the 30-degree wash instruction precisely.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Ensure the two sides of the zipper are perfectly aligned before attempting to pull it up. Gentle, steady pressure is key. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help.
