FAQs

What size should I choose if I am between sizes?

This dress features a structured cut, so it is generally recommended to size up if you prefer a less restrictive fit, especially around the torso.

Can I iron this dress?

It is not recommended to iron the pleated sections as the heat can permanently flatten the pleats. Steaming is the preferred method for removing wrinkles.

Is the fabric breathable?

The material is chosen for its drape and finish, making it best suited for indoor formal events rather than high-exertion outdoor activities.

How do I store the dress to keep the pleats sharp?

Hang the dress upright in a garment bag to keep it free from dust and prevent the fabric from getting crushed by other items in your closet.

What type of footwear pairs best with this midi length?

Heeled sandals or pointed-toe pumps complement the midi length perfectly, helping to elongate the leg and emphasize the sophisticated cut of the dress.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing definition

Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow the weight of the fabric to relax the pleats back into their original alignment.

Light wrinkles after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the fabric to avoid flattening the pleats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated design suitable for formal occasions
  • Flattering midi length for a graceful silhouette
  • Unique cape sleeve detail adds a modern style element
  • High-quality construction typical of Coast brand standards

Cons

  • Pleated fabric requires careful handling and storage
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey or knit dresses
  • Dry clean or specialized washing recommended to preserve pleats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Coast dress remains in optimal condition, storage is critical. Always hang the dress on a high-quality padded hanger to prevent the shoulder area from distorting and to allow the pleats to hang vertically. Avoid folding the dress for long-term storage, as this can permanently flatten the pleats. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, use a handheld steamer from a distance rather than a direct iron, as high heat can damage the pleated texture. For cleaning, check the interior garment tag for specific care instructions; generally, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to protect the delicate pleats and maintain the fabric's original sheen.
