FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is perfect for formal events such as weddings, race days, evening receptions, galas, and other special occasions where elegance and a sophisticated statement are desired.

How should I clean this dress?

Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Typically, due to its delicate ITY fabric, hand washing cold or a gentle machine wash cycle with cold water is recommended, followed by air drying flat or hanging gently.

What type of shoes should I wear with a fishtail maxi dress?

Strappy heels or elegant pumps are highly recommended. They complement the dramatic silhouette and help ensure the fishtail hem doesn't drag on the ground, allowing for graceful movement.

Is this dress true to size?

Coast sizing generally aligns with standard UK dress sizes. However, for the most accurate fit, especially with the fitted waist design, it's always best to refer to the brand's specific size chart before purchasing.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, this dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor. Common alterations include adjusting the length of the fishtail hem or making minor fit modifications around the waist to ensure a perfect silhouette.

What is ITY fabric?

ITY stands for Interlock Twist Yarn. It's a type of knit fabric well-regarded for its comfortable stretch, luxurious drape, wrinkle resistance, and smooth, soft feel. These properties make it ideal for elegant garments that require beautiful movement.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival or after storage.

Gently steam the dress to release wrinkles. If steaming is not an option, iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side, using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

The fishtail hem feels too long or difficult to walk in.

Consider professional tailoring to adjust the length of the hem to suit your specific height and preferred shoe heel height. This ensures comfortable movement and an elegant drape.

The fabric seems to have lost some of its luxurious drape or stretch.

Review the garment's care label carefully. Ensure you are following recommended washing, drying, and storage methods. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive heat, and tumble drying, which can damage ITY fabric over time.

Difficulty in choosing appropriate accessories for the dress.

Focus on elegant, minimalist accessories that complement rather than compete with the dress's sophisticated details. Opt for strappy heels, a sleek clutch, and statement earrings, letting the dress remain the focal point.
