The most incredible Vivienne Westwood galaxy cape dress in amazing condition. Of course comes with the cape and original bag, receipt etc. It has been professionally dry cleaned and is like new. I only wore it for the ceremony and dinner (no dancing) to keep it fresh.
This dress has been altered by an incredible London tailor so that the back is now a lace corset and should fit a range of sizes from a UK 4 to a small UK 8 (my measurements are listed here - I'm typically a UK size 6). The joy of this is that a buyer around that size shouldn't need alterations as the dress can be tightened like a real corset to hug your shape. You can see what this looks like in the final picture. You of course don't see the corseted back when the cape is on.
It's been hemmed to fit me in 2 inch heels (I'm about 5'11.5 in the 2 inch heels I wore) so there should be plenty to work with for anyone shorter.
Alterations and dry cleaning cost me around £1000 extra so it has been well cared for!
