Floral Bardot Maxi Dress - Coast - Floral - 18

This elegant floral maxi dress is perfect for special occasions such as summer weddings, race days, garden parties, and formal receptions, ensuring you make a captivating entrance.

The dress is crafted from lightweight polyester chiffon, which provides its beautiful drape and movement. It is also fully lined for comfort and structure.

For optimal care, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or use a gentle machine wash cycle. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth or use a steamer. Do not bleach or tumble dry.

For classic elegance, pair it with delicate gold jewelry and strappy heeled sandals. For race day events, consider adding a structured clutch and a fascinator to complete your refined ensemble.

Coast sizing is generally true to UK dress sizes. It is always recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart if available, paying close attention to your bust and waist measurements for the best fit with the Bardot neckline.

Due to the off-shoulder Bardot neckline, a strapless bra or adhesive pasties are highly recommended to achieve a smooth and seamless look without visible straps.

As it's made from chiffon (polyester), the dress itself has very limited stretch. The design relies on its flowing cut and back split for ease of movement, rather than fabric elasticity.

Ensure the dress is correctly sized for your bust and shoulder measurements. For extra security, use fashion tape on the underside of the neckline to adhere it to your skin.

Chiffon can wrinkle easily. Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a fabric steamer on a low setting. If using an iron, ensure it's on the lowest heat with a pressing cloth.

The maxi length is designed to be floor-grazing or hover just above with heels. Ensure you are wearing appropriate heel height. If still too long, consult a professional tailor for alterations, keeping the fishtail hem design in mind.

Chiffon is delicate. Be mindful of rough surfaces, sharp objects, and jewelry that might catch on the fabric. Store the dress carefully, preferably in a garment bag.
