About the Dress

I bought this dress from the Vivienne Westwood trunk show at Jin Wang in San Francisco in June of 2024 for ~$7,500. I wore this on my wedding day in May 2025 for about 2 hours and then had it professionally dry cleaned.

"This design features an asymmetric, draped neckline with a slim skirt paired with a waterfall shaped ‘detachable’ train. The style offers a playful silhouette, lending a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the modern look. The off-the-shoulder strap is detachable, creating a contemporary one-shoulder look, while the train is newly offered as a detachable feature, complete with a hook and string system."

I am approximately 5'2" and had this dress hemmed for 3.5" heels. My measurements are as follows:

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 110 lbs
Upper Bust- 30 1/2"
Bus: 30"
Lower Bust: 26 1/3"
Waist: 23 1/2" (however there was wiggle room so it would fit a 24-24.5" waist)
1st Hip: 31 1/3"
Hips: 36 1/4"

Size ordered: UK size 8 = US size 4

Original tag and garment bag/hangers included. And those little cotton loops you see attached to the waist of the dress are for the detachable train!
