Upon receiving your dress, gently unpack it. The crepe fabric may benefit from hanging to release any minor creases from packaging. Avoid strong heat or direct sun for de-creasing.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity and beauty of your Coast Honoured dress:
- Cleaning:
- Refer to the Care Label: Always check the specific care instructions on the dress's internal label.
- Dry Cleaning Recommended: For best results and to preserve the fabric's drape, professional dry cleaning is often recommended for crepe materials, especially for formal wear.
- Hand Wash (if permitted): If hand washing is an option on the care label, use cold water with a mild detergent. Gently agitate and rinse thoroughly. Do not wring or twist.
- Drying:
- Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage polyester crepe.
- Ironing/Steaming:
- If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth or steam the garment gently to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct, high heat.
- Storage:
- Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain its shape. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
