Long Sleeve Pleated Crepe Maxi Dress - Coast - Pink - UK 12

This dress is ideal for a range of formal occasions, including race days, weddings (as a guest), formal dinners, and other elegant events where a sophisticated attire is desired.

The ankle-length cut of this dress pairs beautifully with various elegant footwear. Consider strappy heeled sandals, classic pumps, or sophisticated block heels that complement the formality of your event.

To best maintain the integrity of the pleats and the satin fabric, dry cleaning is generally recommended. If hand-washing is an option (check the care label), do so gently, avoid wringing, and air dry. Always iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse, or steam it to remove wrinkles.

Yes, the long sleeves provide some added warmth. For colder conditions, you can easily layer a tailored blazer, an elegant wrap, or a sophisticated coat over the dress without detracting from its formal and stylish appearance.

The versatile round neckline works well with both statement earrings for a bolder look, or a simple, delicate necklace for understated elegance. You can also pair it with a fascinator for occasions like race days.

This dress is crafted from a flowing satin fabric, which provides a graceful drape and luxurious feel, complemented by distinctive pleated detailing to create a 'crepe' style appearance.

Gently steam the affected areas using a garment steamer, or consult a professional dry cleaner for specialized pressing to restore the pleats. Avoid direct, high-heat ironing.

Refresh the dress by steaming on a low setting or ironing on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest heat. Ensure proper storage on a padded hanger to prevent future creasing.

Address stains immediately by gently blotting (do not rub) with a clean, damp cloth. For more persistent stains, it is highly recommended to seek professional dry cleaning services due to the delicate nature of satin.
