FAQs

What material is the Ginnie Frill Dress made from?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, featuring a lightweight sheer crêpe base with an opaque overlay.

Can I wash this dress at home?

No, this garment is dry clean only. Professional care is necessary to preserve the delicate structure of the frills and the sheer fabric.

Where is this dress manufactured?

The Vivienne Westwood Ginnie Frill Dress is made in Italy.

How should I store the dress?

Store it on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect the delicate sheer fabric from snags and dust.

Does the dress fit true to size?

The dress is designed with a tailored waist. It is recommended to consult a standard UK size chart to ensure the best fit for your measurements.

Troubleshooting

Side zipper sticking or feeling stiff

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, do not force it; take the garment to a professional tailor to avoid damaging the seam.

Visible wrinkles in the frill panels

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner for a gentle steam finish. Do not attempt to use a standard household iron, as the heat may damage the synthetic polyester composition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vivienne Westwood Ginnie Frill Dress, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: This garment is strictly dry clean only. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation will damage the sheer crêpe fabric and the frilled panels.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the draped neckline. Avoid overcrowding your closet, as the frills may crease if compressed against other garments.
  3. Handling: Be mindful of jewelry or sharp accessories that could snag the sheer overlay. Ensure the concealed side zipper is fully zipped and unzipped carefully to prevent fabric catching.
