Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Preparation
Upon receiving your dress, gently unpack it and hang it immediately on a padded hanger to allow any creases from transit to relax. A light steam may be required to smooth out any stubborn wrinkles, especially on the satin and bow details.
Compatibility
This dress is designed to be a versatile component of a bridal party ensemble. It pairs well with:
- Accessories: Delicate drop earrings, simple necklaces that don't compete with the neckline.
- Footwear: Strappy heeled sandals in complementary metallic or nude tones.
- Hairstyles: Sleek updos or soft, loose waves to complement the neckline and bow.
- Bridal Party: Its classic blue hue and elegant design make it compatible with various wedding colour palettes, allowing for a cohesive look with other bridesmaids' dresses or accessories.
Care Instructions
The luxurious satin and crepe fabric requires careful handling to maintain its quality.
- Cleaning: Dry clean only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. This will help preserve the fabric's integrity and the dress's shape.
- Storage: Store the dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging in crowded closets to prevent crushing or wrinkling.
- Handling: Be gentle when putting on and taking off the dress. Avoid snagging the fabric on jewellery or rough surfaces.
- Wrinkle Removal: If wrinkles appear, use a steamer on a low setting, holding it a few inches away from the fabric. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid direct heat from an iron, which can damage satin.
Sizing
The dress is designed with a figure-flattering fitted bodice and a sleek column silhouette. Refer to the Coast size guide (if available) to ensure the best fit. If between sizes, consider ordering based on your bust and waist measurements for the bodice fit.
