FAQs
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester georgette fabric, chosen for its luxurious drape and flowing quality.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is perfectly suited for formal occasions such as weddings, day at the races events, and black-tie galas, where an elegant and dramatic entrance is desired.
How do I choose the correct size?
This specific guide is for a UK Size 14. Other available sizes include UK 8, 10, 12, 16, and 18. For the best fit, always refer to Coast's official size guide, which provides detailed measurements to compare against your own.
What accessories are recommended with this dress?
To complete your look, it is recommended to pair the dress with strappy metallic heels and statement earrings. For cooler evenings, a delicate pashmina can be draped elegantly over your shoulders.
Can the dress be altered for length?
Yes, while the wrap design offers some flexibility, if the floor-length is too long, professional alterations can be made for hemming. It's advisable to consult with a qualified tailor who has experience working with delicate fabrics and pleated designs to ensure the alteration maintains the dress's intended drape and style.
How should I clean this dress?
> Info needed: Specific care instructions were not provided in the product description. As the dress is made of Polyester georgette, typically a gentle hand wash with cold water or professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the fabric and pleats. Always refer to the garment's internal care label upon receipt for the most accurate cleaning instructions.
Troubleshooting
The tie detail isn't staying securely fastened.
Ensure you are tying a firm, double knot or a tight bow. If the fabric feels particularly slippery, you might need to practice a more secure knot or consider a small, discreet pin to hold it in place internally.
The dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.
Polyester georgette can be prone to creasing. Hang the dress immediately upon arrival or after storage. Most wrinkles can be smoothed out effectively using a garment steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, as this can potentially damage the fabric or alter the pleats. For stubborn wrinkles, professional steaming is recommended.
The floor-length is too long, causing tripping.
This is a common issue with floor-length garments. Consider wearing higher heels, or for a more permanent solution, consult a professional tailor for hemming. Ensure the tailor is experienced with delicate fabrics and pleated designs to maintain the dress's elegant drape.
The V-neckline feels too revealing.
The wrap design allows for some adjustment. Try pulling the wrap tighter across the chest before securing the tie. Alternatively, a small, discreet snap closure or fashion tape can be used to hold the neckline in place. A delicate camisole or bustier can also be worn underneath for added coverage.
