FAQs

Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?

Yes, the long sleeves and midi length provide excellent coverage and comfort for transitional weather often found at outdoor spring or autumn weddings.

What type of footwear pairs best with this midi length?

Strappy heels or classic court shoes are ideal to elongate the leg and complement the flow of the pleated skirt.

Does the bodice have stretch?

The crepe material is chosen for its structured appearance, so it provides a tailored fit rather than significant stretch.

How should I clean the pleated skirt?

Dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the pleated texture and the structural integrity of the crepe fabric.

Can I wear this to a race day?

Absolutely, the sophisticated design is a staple choice for race day events, especially when accessorized with a hat or fascinator.

Does the dress come with a belt?

Yes, the dress features a belted waist detail specifically designed to define the silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkles in the pleated skirt

Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting from a distance of at least 6 inches, moving vertically to allow the weight of the pleats to smooth out.

Belt does not sit flat

Ensure the waist belt is threaded correctly through any side loops and fastened symmetrically to avoid pulling the bodice fabric unevenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Coast midi dress remains in pristine condition, it is vital to follow appropriate care steps. Because the garment features structured pleats, avoid aggressive machine agitation which can flatten the pleats over time. We recommend dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's finish and the garment's shape. When storing, keep the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples, and ensure it is kept in a breathable garment bag to protect the crepe material from snagging. This piece is designed for standard UK sizing; verify your measurements against the size 16 fit to ensure the bodice sits comfortably at your waist.
