Corsetry is dropped for softer but still structured looks, while capes, trouser suits and asymmetric necklines give this season\u2019s Vivienne Westwood bride a chance to be contrary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Virginia Cape is a non-corseted dress first seen as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/boutique\/product\/vivienne-westwood-asymmetric-panelled-tweed-jacket-neutrals\/\">Vivienne Westwood<\/a> Gold Label Spring- Summer 2015 collection. It adopts the distinctive Westwood couture look in pearl white double georgette with a demure cowl neckline. Complete with an ultra-feminine exaggerated shoulder detail, a small tiered cape delicately falls from the shoulder to the middle, revealing a hint of the wearer&#8217;s back. The hemline also adopts a classic Westwood design detail, with a rectangular panel at the back of the dress, dropping from the waist to a long length at the front and shorter at the back.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-70844\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7767-750x5001.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"874\" height=\"582\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70844\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7767-750x5001.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"874\" height=\"582\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ginnie dress is also a new non-corseted piece in the Vivienne Westwood bridal collection, created as an alternative to the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/boutique\/product\/vivienne-westwood-iman-polka-dot-print-jacket-black\/\">Vivienne Westwood<\/a> corseted Cocotte dress. Draping across each shoulder and gathering across the neck, the Ginnie delicately gathers at the waist to accentuate the bride\u2019s silhouette. The Ginnie presents a more relaxed approach for the Westwood bride and is available in a custom ivory Ermine patterned silk jacquard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Experimental pattern cutting is why Vivienne Westwood has such an instantly recognisable couture style, and the Long Spiral dress reflects that. The silk faille gown is created using a unique technique of cutting on a spiral. The dress is finished on the bias, with a dramatic billowing skirt and finished at the shoulder to create an asymmetric neckline.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-70845\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7778-750x5001.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"871\" height=\"580\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70845\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7778-750x5001.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"871\" height=\"580\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fig dress is a typical belle \u00e9poque inspired couture piece with an oversized dramatic neckline.

The silhouette of the two-piece suit is inspired by the work of 19th Century English designer Charles Worth, available in white and black in a wool and silk cannette or textured floral jacquard, with a heavy satin trim to finish.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-70847\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_77141.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"872\" height=\"1309\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70847\" title=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_77141.jpg\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood Wedding Dress\" width=\"872\" height=\"1309\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.viviennewestwood.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">viviennewestwood.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"antispam-group antispam-group-e\" style=\"display: none; text-align: justify;\">Leave this field empty<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Be A Vivienne Westwood Bride Press day at Vivienne Westwood\u2019s exclusive Davis Street boutique, was, as one would expect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":118634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,22],"tags":[239],"class_list":["post-89404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-luxury-wedding-dresses","category-wedding-planning","tag-vivienne-westwood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
