FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is perfectly suited for special occasions such as weddings, race days, formal dinners, and elegant evening events where refined elegance is desired.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from `Linen` with an intricate all-over `lace design`.
How should I care for the lace and linen material?
It's recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Lay flat to dry or hang, and iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth if needed, avoiding direct heat on the lace.
Can I wear this dress casually?
While versatile for formal events, its exquisite lace design and elegant silhouette make it primarily suitable for special occasions rather than casual wear.
What type of accessories pair best with this dress?
For a classic look, consider `strappy metallic heels` and a `clutch bag`. A `fascinator` is ideal for race days, while `statement earrings` can elevate an evening ensemble.
Is the fit-and-flare silhouette flattering for all body types?
The `fit-and-flare silhouette` is generally considered very flattering as it accentuates the waist and flows elegantly over the hips, creating a balanced and graceful look for many body shapes.
Does the dress come in other sizes or colors?
This specific dress is `Blue` and available in `UK size 18`. Other available sizes for this `Blue` variant include `UK 8, 10, 12, 14`.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Coast size guide (Info needed: [Link to Coast Size Guide]) for accurate measurements. Minor alterations may be possible for a perfect fit; consult a professional tailor.
Lace appears creased or wrinkled.
Gently steam the dress or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth, avoiding direct heat on the lace. Ensure the dress is clean before ironing.
Lace snagged or damaged.
For minor snags, carefully trim loose threads with small, sharp scissors. For significant damage, consult a professional fabric repair specialist. Always handle lace with care to prevent snags.
Color appears dull after washing.
Ensure you are washing with cold water and a color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive agitation. Air dry in shade to maintain color vibrancy.

Care Instructions
- Read Care Label: Always refer to the sewn-in care label for specific instructions tailored to `Linen` and lace.
- Delicate Wash: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water to protect the `lace design` and `eyelash trim`. Use a mild, color-safe detergent.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fabric fibers and alter the `blue` color.
- Gentle Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the delicate lace.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low-heat setting. It is recommended to iron inside out or with a pressing cloth to smooth out `Linen` wrinkles without damaging the `lace`.
