FAQs

What is the best way to accessorize this dress?

For race days, pair with a wide-brimmed hat and strappy heels; for weddings, opt for delicate jewellery and a small clutch.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor summer weddings?

While the long sleeves provide coverage, the crepe fabric is best suited for spring or autumn; it may be too warm for peak summer heat.

How should I store the dress?

Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to keep the pleats aligned and the bodice structured.

Does the dress run true to size?

The dress is designed with a structured fit, so it is recommended to check the specific size chart for UK 14 to ensure the waist and bodice fit correctly.

Can I iron the pleated skirt?

It is not recommended to iron the pleats yourself as it may damage the fabric or distort the design. Use a professional steamer if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their crisp shape

Avoid washing at home; take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in pleated fabric maintenance.

Belted waist feels too tight

Ensure the garment is correctly positioned on the waist before tying; if discomfort persists, consult a professional tailor for minor fit adjustments.

  • Pleated skirt offers elegant movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Coast midi dress, always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions. Due to the delicate nature of crepe fabric and pleated detailing, dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the texture and structure of the bodice. When storing the dress, use a padded hanger to prevent shoulder dimples and ensure the skirt is hung straight to maintain the integrity of the pleats. For compatibility, this piece is designed as a standalone statement; coordinate with minimal, delicate jewellery to avoid snagging the fabric.
