FAQs
What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for bridesmaid duties, formal weddings, evening galas, formal dinner parties, and other special occasions where an elegant, floor-length gown is appropriate.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from Polyester georgette, which is known for its graceful drape, wrinkle resistance, and durability.
How should I care for this dress?
It is recommended to hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent or dry clean to preserve the delicate ruffles and fabric. Do not tumble dry; hang to dry. Iron on a cool setting with a pressing cloth or use a steamer.
Is this dress available in other sizes or colors?
This specific dress belongs to the Purple colour family. It is available in various UK sizes, including UK 18. Please check the product page for other available sizes.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's official size guide, typically available on the product page. Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare them to the chart. If you are between sizes, consider the fit you prefer (e.g., tighter vs. looser drape).
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, the dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor, especially for length adjustments. Be sure to choose a tailor experienced with delicate fabrics like georgette and ruffle detailing.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress immediately upon arrival. Use a garment steamer or hang it in a steamy bathroom to gently release wrinkles. If ironing, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
The dress feels too long or trails on the ground.
Maxi dresses are often designed to be worn with heels. If it's still too long, professional tailoring for hemming is recommended for a perfect fit.
Fabric snags or tears easily.
Polyester georgette, while durable, can snag on sharp objects. Be mindful of surroundings and jewelry. Small snags can sometimes be carefully worked back into place with a needle, but larger tears may require professional repair.
Stains on the dress are difficult to remove.
For best results, address stains immediately. Blot (do not rub) with a clean cloth. *Info needed: [Specific stain removal recommendations for polyester georgette]*. For stubborn or delicate stains, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

Care Instructions
To maintain the pristine condition of your Coast Honoured Ruffle Georgette Maxi Bridesmaid Dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: *Info needed: [Specific washing instructions - e.g., hand wash cold, delicate cycle, dry clean only]*. Generally, polyester georgette is best hand-washed in cold water with a mild detergent or dry cleaned to preserve its delicate ruffles.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent stretching or damage to the fabric and ruffles.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron or steamer on the lowest setting. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the delicate georgette and ruffles. Avoid direct heat on any embellishments.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain the dress's shape. Avoid overcrowding in your closet.
