FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for sophisticated and formal occasions such as weddings, race days, graduations, formal dinners, and cocktail parties. Its elegant design makes it perfect for events where you want to make a polished statement.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from high-quality polyester crepe fabric, which provides a luxurious drape, comfortable wear, and a refined finish.

How should I care for this dress?

The dress is made of polyester crepe. While specific instructions should always be checked on the garment's label, general care for polyester crepe includes hand washing in cool water or machine washing on a delicate cycle, and air drying. Avoid high heat during washing, drying, and ironing.

What does 'Petite' in the name signify?

The 'Petite' in the dress name indicates that it is specifically designed and proportioned for individuals with petite frames, typically women 5'3" (160 cm) or shorter. This ensures the midi length, sleeve length, and overall fit are optimized for shorter statures.

Can I accessorize this dress for different looks?

Absolutely! The versatile colour block design allows for various accessorizing options. You can opt for bold statement earrings and a clutch for a modern look, or keep it classic with simple pearl studs and a delicate bracelet for timeless elegance. Strappy heels and a lightweight shawl are also recommended.

Is this dress available in other sizes or colours?

This specific variant is a Multicolor UK Size 12. The Coast Petite Crepe Colour Block Midi Dress is often available in other UK women's dress sizes, such as UK 6, 8, 10, and 14, within the Multicolor colour family. Please check the product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.

Use a garment steamer to gently smooth out wrinkles. If a steamer is unavailable, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth.

The fit doesn't seem quite right.

Double-check your measurements against Coast's specific petite sizing chart. This dress is designed for petite proportions, so if you are taller than average, the midi length or sleeve fit might be different than expected. Consider a different size or style if the fit is significantly off.

The colour block effect doesn't look as vibrant as expected.

Ensure the dress is clean and free of lint or dust. Consider the lighting conditions; natural light often highlights the colour contrasts best. Accessorising with complementary or contrasting colours can also enhance the overall visual impact.

Care & Compatibility

General Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the luxurious drape and vibrant colours of your Coast Petite Crepe Colour Block Midi Dress.

  • Material: The dress is made from polyester crepe.
  • Info needed: Specific Washing Instructions: Always refer to the garment's care label for precise washing, drying, and ironing instructions to prevent damage.

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold water inside a mesh laundry bag.
  2. Drying: Air dry by hanging the dress. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can damage polyester fibers and affect the drape. Do not wring.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low-heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles.

Compatibility & Fit

  • Petite Sizing: This dress is specifically designed for petite frames (typically 5'3" and under). Ensure you refer to Coast's specific size chart for petite sizing to achieve the best fit.
