Full details
The Coast Belted Crepe Midi Dress is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, polished aesthetic for formal events such as weddings or cocktail parties. Featuring a classic V-neckline and a flattering wrap-effect bodice, this dress offers a figure-defining silhouette through its structured fabric and waist-cinching belt. While the fully lined interior ensures comfort and a graceful drape, users should note that the structured crepe material may require careful steaming to remove wrinkles before wear to maintain its refined appearance.

What type of shoes match this style?
Heels, such as strappy sandals or classic pumps, work best to complement the midi length and A-line silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled
Use a garment steamer on low heat. Never apply high-heat direct contact ironing as it may damage the crepe texture.
Belt buckle feels loose
Check the prong placement on the belt holes. If the belt slips, ensure the excess strap is tucked securely into the provided loops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit and appearance, consider the following:
- Preparation: Upon arrival, if the dress shows fold lines from transit, use a handheld steamer on a low-heat setting to gently smooth the crepe fabric. Avoid pressing the fabric directly with a hot iron.
- Undergarments: Due to the V-neckline and form-fitting bodice, seamless, skin-toned undergarments are recommended to maintain the clean lines of the dress.
- Care Instructions: To preserve the integrity of the fabric and the structural lining, professional dry cleaning is the preferred method of maintenance. If spot cleaning is necessary, do so gently with cold water and avoid vigorous rubbing.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder dimples and ensure the belt is stored either loosely around the waist or separately to prevent hardware indentation on the fabric.
