Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Coast Maxi Dress in pristine condition, proper storage and cleaning are essential. Because of the delicate beading and pearls, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: This garment should be professionally dry-cleaned only. Avoid submerging the bodice in water or using harsh detergents, which can damage the adhesive or stitching on the beads.
- Storage: Hang the dress in a garment bag to prevent the beads from catching on other clothing items in your closet. Ensure it is stored on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching.
- Travel: If transporting the dress, fold it carefully with acid-free tissue paper between the layers of the bodice to prevent the beads from crushing or snagging the fabric.
- Styling: Given the ornate detailing on the neckline, avoid wearing chunky statement necklaces that may clash with the botanical pattern; simple stud or drop earrings are recommended.
