Vivienne Westwood SS1998 “Tied to the Mast” Three-Piece Set

$0.00
Sold Out

A rare and exceptional archival piece from one of Westwood’s most celebrated collections, this three-piece set exemplifies her mastery of deconstructed tailoring and romantic historicism.

The Set Includes:

∙ Off-shoulder corset

∙ Midi skirt

∙ Dramatic open-front frock coat with bell sleeves

Crafted in a powder blue and champagne jacquard brocade, the fabric features an all-over floral damask motif that speaks directly to Westwood’s ongoing dialogue with 18th-century dress. The defining detail throughout is the intentionally raw, frayed edging — applied along every seam, hem, and panel junction — creating a deliberately undone aesthetic that juxtaposes the grandeur of the fabrication with a sense of beautiful decay.

The corset bodice features a draped ivory cowl neckline, structured boning, and frayed trim at the bust. The skirt falls to a midi length in a sleek column silhouette with frilled hem. The coat, the showpiece of the ensemble, features dramatic flared bell sleeves, deep lapels, and a cascading A-line cut that references the Rococo court coats Westwood so frequently reinterpreted.

Size:

Corset US 8, waist 13.5” 

Skirt US 8, waist 13”

Jacket US 6, waist 13” 

A true museum-quality archive piece — wearable fashion history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
