Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed as a structured midi piece. It is recommended to follow standard sizing charts, though the lack of heavy stretch means accurate measurement of the waist and bust is advised.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this garment is made of velvet and tweed and must be dry cleaned to maintain its texture and structure.

How do I style the plunging neckline?

For those seeking more coverage, consider a decorative lace camisole or specialized adhesive bra support to secure the neckline position.

Is the sash belt removable?

The matching velvet sash belt is designed to define the waist and typically functions as a key stylistic element of the dress silhouette.

Does the tweed fabric sparkle?

Yes, the bodice features a specific textured finish designed to sparkle and catch the light.

What type of footwear works best?

Pointed-toe heels, particularly in metallic or neutral tones, complement the elongating silhouette of the midi skirt.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging

Avoid wearing sharp jewelry that may catch on the textured tweed weave.

Velvet creasing during transit

Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a professional-grade steamer from a distance, being careful not to touch the velvet directly with the heating plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, high-contrast material combination
  • Flattering, elongation-focused midi length
  • Intricate detailing like jewelled buttons and velvet trim
  • High-quality textile blend suitable for formal events

Cons

  • Deep plunging neckline may not suit all body types
  • Velvet and tweed materials require professional cleaning
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey dresses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Coast dress retains its luster, handle the jewelled buttons with care during transport and storage. As this garment is primarily made from velvet and textured tweed, it is recommended to dry clean only to preserve the pile of the velvet and the integrity of the tweed weave. When storing, use a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and cover with a breathable garment bag to protect the fabric from dust. Avoid direct contact with harsh perfumes or lotions near the velvet, as these can leave marks or discolor the finish.
