FAQs

What material is the Pulling Dress made of?

The dress is crafted from high-quality cotton, providing both comfort and the necessary structure for the architectural design.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the unique pattern-cutting and architectural details, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Does the dress fit true to size?

The dress follows standard UK sizing, but the sculpted 'pulling' cut is designed to fit close to the body; please refer to the size guide if you prefer a slightly looser fit.

Can I iron the dress?

Use a low-heat setting and iron from the reverse side to protect the piqué fabric and the structural seams.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Pulling' design?

The design draws from Vivienne Westwood's signature 'pulling' pattern-cutting system, which creates the visual effect of fabric being stretched around the wearer.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing wrinkled along the twisted seam

Gently steam the area from a distance to allow the cotton fibers to relax back into their original sculpted shape.

Difficulty with fit around the torso

Ensure the central twisted seam is correctly aligned with your midline, as even a slight shift can alter the intended drape of the garment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive avant-garde silhouette that stands out
  • High-quality cotton construction for comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for smart-casual or elevated events
  • Iconic Vivienne Westwood design language

Cons

  • Requires careful cleaning due to the structured cut
  • Specific sizing requires precise fit checks
  • The sculptural nature of the garment may limit layering options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment utilizes a specific architectural construction, proper care is essential. To maintain the 'pulling' effect and the integrity of the cotton piqué, it is recommended to store the dress on a high-quality, padded hanger to prevent shoulder deformation from the puffed sleeves. Given the nature of the cotton material and the intricate seam work, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the blossom pink color and the shape of the twisted seam. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents. If ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting and press from the inside to avoid damaging the checkered pattern.
