The Dress

Vivienne Westwood Long Cocotte in Absence of Roses - UK 10. THE most beautiful, form-fitting dress with a signature VW fabric that is subtle and unique. They do not make this fabric anymore, so it’s very rare - it was discontinued in March 2023.

I bought full price in March 2023 for $9010 (£7157). It has had slight alterations to tuck up the front but this is pinned so can be taken down - see here for what it looks like down in plain fabric: https://lohobride.com/collections/made-to-order-gowns/products/nova-cocotte. I am 5ft 10/11 so it has not been taken up at all meaning it could be adjusted to fit most heights. It has been professionally dry cleaned since the wedding for £320 at ELIAS in South Kensington who specialise in cleaning wedding dresses.

Sad to list it as will never wear a more beautiful dress but would love someone to have the chance to enjoy this one-of-a-kind dress themselves. Open to offers (but please make them realistic!) so please get in touch.

Alterations

Front layer of fabric is tucked up as shown (but can be taken down) and a hidden carry loop added at the top of the split on the back of the dress to enable you to pick up the train for dirty floor / walking / running
