Vivienne Westwood, Nova Cora embroidered lace gown

Vivienne Westwood ‘Nova Cora’ Embroidered Lace Gown – Ivory – Size 12 (fits UK 10)

The Nova Cora embroidered lace gown from the Vivienne Westwood Bridal Collection is crafted in intricate embroidered lace and lined with luxurious stretch silk. The design features a beautifully folded off‑shoulder neckline and a softly gathered, floor‑length skirt.

Inspired by the iconic Vivienne Westwood Cocotte silhouette, this gown includes a sculpting internal corset and a refined drape with reduced volume around the neckline and hips. The back cascades into an elegant, asymmetrical train — creating the signature Westwood hourglass shape.

I absolutely loved wearing this gown; it was a dream and a defining part of the most beautiful day of my life. I would be thrilled to see another future bride shine in this unique piece. ❤️

Size & Fit:
- Label size: UK 12
- Recommended fit: UK 10 / Medium
- Height of bride: 5'8" / 172 cm
- Heel height worn: 1.6 inches / 4 cm

The corset is structured and fits on the smaller side. I usually wear UK 8/10 (EU 36/38), but the UK 12 fit perfectly due to the tight internal corsetry.

The gown was never altered — it fitted perfectly straight from the atelier. This means it can still be tailored to your exact measurements, which is a huge benefit of dress as you can take it in if needed.
