Vivienne Westwood, Galaxy Cape In Fsc Crepe Satin

This dress deserved to be worn again!! It has been professionally dry cleaned, and it was purchased at New York. The only alteration on the dress was the length but it was unhemmed back at its original length! The rest of the dress fit exactly as it was. The neckline drape and Watteau detachable train are made in the same satin fabric as the main gown.

Dress description:

The Galaxy Cape dress, takes inspiration from the classic archive Ball Tie style, complete with an 18th-century Watteau style detachable cape which echoes the bodice drape, for added drama. 

The ethereal gown is all crepe satin, which contains 73% acetate and 27% viscose, both sourced through forestry guidelines that are environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable. This includes principles and criteria on forest management practices, respect for indigenous peoples' rights, workers' rights and local communities, environmental impacts and legal compliance. The cape material contains 100% silk obtained with organic farming practices in place. Organic fibres are natural fibres grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides and GMOs (Genetic Modified Organisms).
