FAQs
What kind of events is this dress suitable for?
This dress is perfect for formal occasions such as weddings (as a guest), race days, black-tie galas, formal dinners, and other high-profile events.
How should I choose the right size?
This specific guide is for a UK size 12. Generally, the wrap design offers some flexibility. We recommend checking Coast's official sizing guide for precise measurements if you are unsure.
What is the material of the dress?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester Georgette fabric, known for its elegant drape and luxurious feel.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Machine washing is not recommended. For best results and to preserve the fabric and pleats, professional dry cleaning is advised. If absolutely necessary, a very gentle hand wash in cold water is an alternative, but proceed with caution.
Does the dress have a lining?
Info needed: Specific lining details are not provided. Given it's georgette, it is common for such dresses to have a partial or full lining for comfort and opacity.
How do I style the bishop sleeves?
The voluminous bishop sleeves are designed to be a statement. Let them flow naturally. Ensure any bracelets or watches are worn comfortably without pulling or snagging the delicate fabric.
Is the waist tie adjustable?
Yes, the dress features a cinched waist with a tie detail, allowing you to adjust it for a custom, flattering fit.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled or creased.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer. If a steamer is unavailable, use a cool iron with a pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact with the fabric, especially the pleats.
Wrap front feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the tie detail at the waist. Ensure the inner wrap layer is secured properly before tying the outer one. The wrap design offers flexibility for a customized fit.
V-neckline gapping or not sitting correctly.
Consider using fashion tape (double-sided tape designed for clothing) to secure the neckline to your skin. Alternatively, wear a discreet camisole or bralette underneath for added coverage.
Fabric snagged or pulled thread.
Handle the dress with care, especially around jewelry or rough surfaces. For minor snags, gently try to pull the thread back to the inside of the fabric with a needle. Avoid cutting the thread as it may unravel further.
Pleats losing their definition.
This can happen with washing or improper storage. Professional dry cleaning is the best way to restore pleat definition. Avoid ironing directly on the pleats without a pressing cloth and low heat.

Product Care
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your dress.
- Material: 100% Polyester Georgette.
- Washing: Due to the delicate nature of georgette and the pleated design, dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric and pleats. If hand washing is necessary, use cold water with a mild detergent, gently swishing the dress without twisting or wringing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry in the shade.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron or steamer on the lowest setting. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent damage. Steaming is often preferred for georgette to remove wrinkles without flattening pleats.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain its shape.
