Coast Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress - Red - UK 18

This Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress is perfectly suited for formal occasions such as weddings, race days, black-tie events, and other high-profile gatherings where elegance is key.

The dress is crafted from a luxurious crepe fabric, known for its beautiful drape and comfortable feel.

Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, crepe fabric benefits from delicate dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash in cold water, and air drying. Avoid high heat during washing or ironing.

Key features include dramatic cape sleeves, a floor-sweeping maxi length, a fitted bodice that accentuates the waist, and a sophisticated crew neckline.

While the dress itself is not insulated, you can easily pair it with a stylish pashmina or elegant shawl for added warmth and a complementary look during cooler evenings.

We recommend consulting Coast's official sizing guide to find your most accurate UK dress size. If possible, try on the dress to ensure the fitted bodice and maxi length align with your body shape.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK dress size. Refer to Coast's sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if unsure.

Crepe fabric can sometimes crease. Refer to the garment's care label for appropriate ironing or steaming instructions. Usually, a low-heat steam is recommended to gently remove wrinkles without damaging the fabric. Hang immediately after steaming.

For weddings or race days, opt for elegant fascinators or delicate headpieces. For black-tie events, statement jewelry like chandelier earrings or a sophisticated necklace, paired with a sleek clutch, will enhance the look. Strappy metallic heels consistently complement the dress's elegance.

The crew neckline provides good coverage. For added modesty or warmth in cooler evenings, a matching or contrasting pashmina or elegant shawl draped over your shoulders can complement the cape design beautifully without detracting from the dress's elegance.
