FAQs
What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, race days, black-tie events, and elegant evening soirees, thanks to its sophisticated design and dramatic silhouette.
How should I care for the 3D corsage detail?
The 3D corsage is delicate. Always handle it gently, avoid crushing or pulling. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended for the entire garment to ensure the embellishment is preserved.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a figure-flattering crepe fabric, which is polyester with a slight stretch, offering comfort and a beautiful drape.
Is this dress true to size for petite women?
Yes, this dress is specifically designed as a 'Petite' fit in UK size 8, meaning it's proportioned for smaller frames. For the best fit, always compare your measurements with Coast's official petite size guide.
Can I wear a regular bra with this dress?
Yes, the sleek round neckline and design typically allow for a regular or strapless bra. Choose a seamless option for the smoothest finish under the crepe fabric.
How do I best style this high-low dress for a formal event?
Pair it with elegant strappy heels or pumps. For race days, a coordinating fascinator is perfect. For evening, minimal statement jewelry (like earrings) and a sleek clutch will complement the dress without overpowering the 3D corsage.
Troubleshooting
3D corsage appears flattened or misshapen.
Gently reshape the corsage by hand. For stubborn issues, a professional dry cleaner might be able to carefully steam and reform the embellishment.
Fabric has minor wrinkles or creases after storage.
Use a garment steamer on a low setting. Alternatively, iron on a very low heat with a pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact with the corsage. Hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period can also help.
Dress does not fit as expected despite selecting correct size.
Verify your measurements against the brand's specific size chart for petite garments. For minor adjustments, consult a professional tailor specializing in formal wear to ensure the fit is perfect without compromising the dress's design.
Accidental stain on the dress fabric.
Act immediately but carefully. Blot the stain gently with a clean, damp cloth (do not rub). For best results, take the dress to a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible, informing them of the stain type and fabric.
High-low hemline looks uneven or isn't draping correctly.
Ensure the dress is hanging correctly on a hanger. Sometimes, the fabric just needs to relax. If the issue persists, check for any snags or pulls in the fabric that might be affecting the drape. If it appears to be a manufacturing defect, contact customer service.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the beauty and longevity of your dress, especially given the delicate 3D corsage.
- Read the Label: Always consult the garment's care label for specific instructions.
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate 3D corsage and crepe fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent damage and maintain the fabric's integrity. If hand washing is attempted (check care label first):
- Use cool water and a mild detergent.
- Gently swirl the dress; do not rub or wring.
- Pay special attention to the corsage; do not submerge it roughly or agitate it heavily.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger in a shaded area to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a garment steamer on a low setting to remove wrinkles. If ironing, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth over the fabric to protect it, avoiding direct contact with the corsage.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Ensure the corsage is not crushed or flattened during storage.
