FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a standard UK size 18, fitting to the typical measurements for that size bracket.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the crepe fabric and delicate pleating, we recommend checking the internal care tag; professional dry cleaning is usually preferred.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Seamless, nude-colored undergarments are recommended due to the drape and fit of the crepe fabric.
Is the fabric prone to stretching?
Crepe generally retains its shape well, though it should be stored on a hanger rather than folded to prevent permanent creases.
Can I wear this in colder weather?
Yes, the midi length pairs well with tights and boots, making it suitable for transitional or cooler seasons.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flattened or wrinkled
Use a professional garment steamer from a safe distance to gently relax the fibers and restore the pleat shape.
Minor snag on the fabric
Gently pull the fabric taut around the snag to encourage the thread to settle back into place, but do not cut the thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Coast Pleat Detail Crepe Midi Dress remains in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Check the internal care label for specific instructions; dry cleaning is often the safest method for high-quality crepe to maintain the pleats.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps and allow the pleats to hang naturally without being crushed.
- Ironing: If needed, use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron on the pleated sections, as excessive heat can flatten the designed texture.
- Styling Compatibility: The rich purple shade pairs exceptionally well with metallic accessories, neutral-toned heels, or classic black boots for seasonal transitions.
