Galaxy Cape

Handmade in London, the Vivienne Westwood Galaxy Cape gown is a rare couture piece that embodies modern elegance with timeless craftsmanship. Designed in custom silk satin, it features the house’s signature internal boned straight corset bodice with a softly draped neckline, creating clean, fluid lines without lace for a minimalist yet striking silhouette. A dramatic detachable Watteau style cape sweeps into a train, offering two looks in one for gallery, city, or black tie settings. Worn once for a wedding and in excellent condition, the gown was professionally cleaned and museum preserved by J. Scheer ($1,800 service). Purchased in August 2024 for $11,400 (including a $1,500 silk satin upcharge), it also includes expert alterations to the hem and corset for a flawless fit. Labeled UK 8 (street size 2/4), measurements were 34" bust / 26" waist / 34" hips, 34C bust, hemmed for 5’10” in shoes. This listing offers immediate couture availability with preservation and tailoring complete.
