Setup (Preparing to Wear)
- Unpack Gently: Carefully remove the dress from its packaging to avoid creases. If folded for an extended period, minor creasing may occur.
- Hang Immediately: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow the fabric to relax and drape naturally. A sturdy hanger is recommended to support the garment.
- Steaming (Optional): If minor creases are present, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the fabric. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid direct iron heat unless specified otherwise.
- Check Fit: Before your event, try on the dress with your intended undergarments and shoes to ensure the fit is as expected, especially given the fabric's limited stretch.
Compatibility
This dress is designed to be highly compatible with various bridal party themes and color palettes due to its availability in 'bestselling color palettes' and inclusion in the 'Coast Honoured Collection'. This allows for easy 'mix-and-match' styling, enabling individual bridesmaids to choose their preferred style while maintaining a coordinated look within the overall bridal party.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and structural integrity of your Karina crepe dress:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the Karina crepe and the formal design, hand washing in cold water or professional dry cleaning is recommended to best maintain its matte finish and drape.

- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric distortion or fading.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid cramming it into a crowded closet to prevent wrinkles and preserve its shape. Consider using a garment bag for long-term storage.
