Product Information

Full details

The Coast Velvet Lace Tie Shoulder Midi Dress is designed for women seeking a sophisticated, couture-inspired look for formal occasions such as weddings or evening receptions. Its primary benefit lies in the rich, tactile depth of the velvet-on-velvet floral lace, which provides a luxurious aesthetic; however, the delicate nature of the lace fabric requires careful handling to prevent snagging.

FAQs

What size should I choose?

This model is listed in UK dress sizing; the Size 16 is designed to fit a standard UK 16 frame.

Can I wear a necklace with this?

The square neckline is designed to frame the decolletage; simple gold hoop earrings or a delicate pendant work best to complement the neckline without cluttering the lace pattern.

Is the dress stretchy?

While the velvet lace has a sophisticated drape, it is not a high-stretch fabric. It is designed to skim the figure rather than compress it.

How do I secure the shoulders?

The shoulder straps are designed as long satin-finish ribbons; you can tie them into a secure bow to hold the dress at your preferred height.

Is this suitable for a black-tie event?

Yes, the rich velvet material and intricate floral lace make it a perfect choice for black-tie cocktail receptions.

How should I store this dress?

Store hanging in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the shoulder ribbons are not tangled and the velvet pile is not pressed against other rough fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder straps feel loose

Untie the satin ribbons and re-fasten them tightly once the dress is positioned on the body to ensure they stay in place.

Velvet pile appears flattened

Lightly steam the reverse side of the fabric from a distance to help the velvet fibers lift and recover their texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Luxurious velvet-on-velvet texture
  • Adjustable tie-shoulder straps for a custom fit
  • Versatile midi length suitable for various formal settings
  • Elegant scalloped lace hem and neckline detailing

Cons

  • Requires gentle care due to the delicate lace fabric
  • Hand wash or professional dry cleaning recommended
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the velvet lace, store this garment hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent crushing the velvet pile. Because of the delicate nature of the lace, avoid contact with sharp accessories like snag-prone jewelry or bags with metal clasps. For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the specific luster of the velvet-on-velvet lace pattern. If you choose to wash it at home, use a mesh garment bag on a delicate cold-water cycle and lay flat to dry to avoid distorting the hem.
