FAQs
What type of events is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is primarily designed for bridesmaids but is also an excellent choice for other formal occasions such as wedding guests, galas, formal dinners, and elegant evening parties due to its sophisticated design and maxi length.
How should I care for the Georgette fabric to prevent damage?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent and air drying. Avoid direct high heat when ironing; steaming is preferred. Store on a padded hanger in a garment bag to prevent snags and dust accumulation.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress adheres to UK standard sizing. For the best fit, we advise consulting the Coast brand's specific size chart which provides detailed body measurements. Professional alterations can also ensure a perfect custom fit.
What kind of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
To maintain a smooth and seamless silhouette under the flowing georgette fabric, we recommend wearing nude-coloured, seamless undergarments. A strapless or multi-way bra might be ideal depending on the dress's neckline (Info needed: neckline details).
Can this dress be altered for a custom fit?
Yes, this dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor. Common alterations include adjusting the hem length, taking in the waist or bust, and refining strap placement for a personalized and perfect fit.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress immediately and allow gravity to help smooth it out. Use a garment steamer on a low setting, moving it gently over the fabric. Hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom for 20-30 minutes can also help.
Fabric snags easily.
Georgette can be delicate. Exercise extra caution around jewellery, rough surfaces, or anything that could catch the fabric. Store the dress in a garment bag when not in use.
The length is too long.
For a perfect fit with your chosen heels, we recommend seeking professional alterations from a reputable tailor. They can adjust the hemline without compromising the dress's design.
The fit feels slightly off.
Refer to the brand's official size guide for detailed measurements. For minor adjustments, professional tailoring can often resolve fit issues in the bust, waist, or hips. If the size is significantly wrong, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparing for Wear
- Unpack & Hang: Upon receiving your dress, immediately remove it from its packaging and hang it on a sturdy padded hanger to allow any creases from shipping to relax.

- Undergarments: Choose seamless, nude-coloured undergarments to ensure a smooth line under the dress's flowing fabric.

Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Coast Honoured Ruffle Georgette Maxi Dress:
- Washing: We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag to protect the ruffles.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and hang to air dry away from direct sunlight. The georgette will dry relatively quickly.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth, or preferably, use a garment steamer. Avoid ironing directly on ruffles.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags.
