Product Information
Full details
The Coast Belted Crepe Dress is an elegant choice for women seeking a sophisticated outfit for formal occasions, such as weddings, garden parties, or race days. It features a flattering wrap-effect bodice, a defined waist with a statement belt, and a graceful A-line midi silhouette, providing a blend of structured refinement and fluid movement. While the fully lined crepe fabric ensures a smooth and comfortable drape, prospective buyers should note that the structured cut requires precise sizing to ensure the bodice and waist detailing sit correctly.

FAQs
Is the belt removable?
The statement belt is designed as a primary feature to define the waist and is intended to be worn with the dress.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Yes, the cap sleeves and V-neckline are generally compatible with most standard bras, though a plunge or low-cut style may be preferred depending on your bust size.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The dress is made from structured crepe, which offers minimal stretch compared to jersey fabrics. We recommend choosing your standard UK dress size.
Is this dress suitable for a wedding guest?
Absolutely, the midi length, elegant neckline, and refined silhouette make it an ideal choice for formal wedding guest attire.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the crepe construction and lining, professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the garment's shape.
Troubleshooting
The belt does not sit perfectly flat.
Ensure the underlying wrap-effect bodice is tucked correctly before tightening the belt; adjust the belt loops if available to align with your natural waist.
Wrinkles in the crepe fabric.
Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting at a distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent scorching or compressing the crepe texture.
Pros and Cons

- Fully lined for a premium, non-transparent feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the crepe fabric and the structure of the belted bodice, it is recommended to store this dress on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation. Given the delicate nature of the wrap-effect bodice, always avoid wearing sharp jewelry that could catch on the fabric. Check the internal care label for specific cleaning instructions; generally, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and color vibrancy of the blue crepe. When pairing with footwear, strappy heels complement the midi length best, as they elongate the leg and emphasize the A-line silhouette.
