The Fashion Police love Vivienne Westwood, we really do. We'd live inside her closet if we could. Well, OK, maybe not.
Recent discussions on the rise (and rise.. and rise...) of wet-look fashion, however, has made us stop and think twice about this dress. It's called a "Witch" dress, and we can see why, because it has more than a touch of the "Oh, hai, I'm your next Halloween costume!" about it, no? And the back has... well, we hesitate to mention it, but maybe just a touch of the "bin bag":
Because it's Viv, though, we really want to like it, so we're going to abdicate all responsibility on this one and simply put it to you, readers: is this a crime of fashion? Or is it innocent of all charges?

It’s a crime. Anyone wearing that would like like Elvira.
More fire sale items from the set of The Matrix?
call me crazy…but is it just me or does that dress look like it has 2 fronts instead of a front and a back?
Definitely awful.
Can you execute fashion? If so send this one down to death row!
I think the back of the dress is what makes it a crime. Otherwise, it *might* qualify as merely eccentric.
crime.
Ew. Ew ew ew.
Not just a touch of the bin bag …
I agree with Arielle. Did they forget to sew the zip in?
Reminds me of a dress Siouxsie Sioux wore on Top of the Pops one. Therefore it is awesome.
I actually really like the sleeves, I think it’s look alot better with in a different material maybe?
