The dress is crafted from luxurious velvet fabric, offering a rich texture and soft feel.
This dress is perfect for formal occasions such as weddings (especially as a bridesmaid), galas, formal dinners, and other elegant evening events.
Due to the delicate nature of velvet, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the fabric's quality and appearance. Always check the care label on the garment for specific instructions.
To maintain the sleek silhouette of the one-shoulder design, a strapless bra, adhesive bra, or no-show pasties are the best options.
Yes, for optimal fit, especially regarding length or minor bodice adjustments, this dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor. Ensure the tailor has experience with delicate fabrics like velvet.
Velvet fabrics can sometimes have a slight stretch, but this dress is described as 'figure-hugging' and 'streamlined fit,' suggesting a tailored silhouette. Always consult the brand's sizing guide for the most accurate fit information.
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the velvet from dust and prevent crushing or creasing. Avoid direct sunlight.
Gently steam the dress using a handheld steamer or by hanging it in a steamy bathroom. Do not use a hot iron directly on velvet, as it can damage the pile. If needed, iron lightly from the inside with a thick towel between the iron and the fabric, using a very low setting.
Lightly spray the inside of the dress with an anti-static spray. Alternatively, rub the inside of the dress with a dryer sheet before wearing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate undergarments (e.g., a properly fitted strapless bra) that provide support without tugging on the dress. If the dress is too loose, professional alteration may be needed to adjust the strap or bodice.
Refer to the Coast sizing guide to ensure the correct size was purchased. For minor adjustments, a professional tailor can often alter the side seams or hem. For a significantly incorrect fit, consider exchanging for a different size if available.
This can happen with velvet. Try gently brushing the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the pile. Gentle steaming can also help to lift and restore the pile.
