Vivienne Westwood, Galaxy Cape Gown

This dress deserves to be worn again and I hope the bride feels as amazing in it as I did. I did not change and had the dress on the entire day and just loved it. I took the cape off after our first dance early in reception and it was still light and easy to get around.

It has been professionally dry cleaned, it was purchased at Le Lourve in Melbourne and altered in house there. It was ordered in a UK8 but alterations were done to waist, bust and length and are shown in measurements. There are a few little stains I have taken pictures from in the photos but they are not noticeable and very faint, same with the cape but the marks are more so toward the bottom. This is reflected in the price.

The Galaxy Cape is a new interpretation of the Galaxy dress, which was originally created for the red carpet, featuring a cinched waist and draped neckline inspired by the classic Vivienne Westwood Ball Tie gown. The gown is created in pearl white FSC-certified crepe satin, with a contrasting silk georgette drape across the décolletage, certified as organic, and 18th-century Watteau style train for added drama.

Below dress description:
