FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, evening parties, galas, and other special occasions where an elegant and sophisticated look is desired.

How should I care for the satin and lace?

The dress should be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent and laid flat to dry. Iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Avoid tumble drying and harsh chemicals.

Is the petite sizing suitable for all petite heights?

Petite sizing is designed for individuals with shorter proportions. However, due to variations in height, some minor alterations to the length might still be needed for a perfect fit.

Can I machine wash this dress?

We strongly recommend hand washing only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the satin fabric and the delicate lace hem.

What kind of undergarments are best with this structured dress?

Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Depending on the bust support needed, a well-fitting bra or bustier would be suitable.

Does the structured design offer much flexibility?

The structured design provides a defined shape. While comfortable for seated or standing occasions, it offers less flexibility than very fluid dresses. It's designed for elegant wear rather than active movement.

What other colors is this dress available in?

This specific product is in magenta. Please check the Coast collection for availability in other colors.

Troubleshooting

Satin appears creased

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the satin. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Lace hem snagged

Carefully try to untangle the snag. For minor snags, a fine needle may be used to gently reposition threads. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.

Dress feels too long despite petite sizing

Consult a tailor for professional hemming. As the lace hem is a design feature, ensure any alterations respect its placement and integrity.

Color transfer from magenta satin

Ensure the dress is fully dry before wearing and avoid contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when damp. Wash separately for the first few times.
