A timeless Vivienne Westwood wedding dress that felt effortlessly elegant. It made me feel perfect on my wedding day and I hope it makes another bride feel the same.

RRP: £6,130 (£5,380 dress + £750 made-to-order split size)
Location: London, UK
Condition: Excellent – worn once and professionally cleaned by a bridal specialist
Purchased: October 2025

Description:

I am selling my beautiful Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora 2025 wedding dress, an iconic designer bridal gown known for its sculptural silhouette, signature corset wedding dress construction, and romantic draping. Crafted in classic heavy stretch satin, this luxury wedding dress was worn once on my wedding day and professionally cleaned immediately afterwards. It remains in excellent condition following professional cleaning.

This Vivienne Westwood bridal gown features a structured corseted bodice in UK size 10 paired with a softly draped skirt in UK size 12, creating the perfect balance of support and fluidity. I purchased the gown directly from the Vivienne Westwood boutique on Davies Street, London. It was made to order as a split size wedding dress, for which VW charge an additional £750.

After the wedding, a minor tear was discovered under the arm (not visible externally). This was professionally repaired by a bridal specialist alterations boutique in London. The professional repair cost £200, which I have absorbed and not included in the price.

Split size:
• Top: UK size 10
• Bottom: UK size 12

The dress fits true to size, with the corsetry providing beautiful shape and support. Measurements below reflect the final fit. No changes were made to the original split sizing.

Measurements:
• Bust: 93 cm
• Waist: 71 cm
• Hips: 98cm

For reference, my measurements align closely with a Vivienne Westwood size 10, but I chose a size 12 skirt to achieve a softer, more forgiving draped silhouette rather than a tighter fit. The skirt can easily be altered to a full UK 10 if desired, making this an ideal alterable wedding dress. I am 5’4.5” tall and wore 2.5-inch heels on the day.
