The dress is primarily made from polyester, extensively embellished with sequins and hand-sewn beads on the bodice, and a delicate tulle fabric for the skirt.
Does this dress have any stretch?
No, the fabric of this dress has no stretch. It is important to consult the size guide carefully to ensure an accurate fit.
How should I clean this dress?
Info needed: [Always refer to the care label on the garment for specific instructions]. Due to the delicate sequins and hand-sewn beads, professional dry cleaning is typically recommended for garments of this nature. Avoid machine washing or hand washing.
Can this dress be altered?
While alterations are possible, it's highly recommended to use a professional tailor who has experience working with embellished and delicate fabrics like sequins and tulle. Simple alterations may be difficult and could damage the design.
Is this dress only for bridesmaids?
While it's part of the Coast Honoured Collection designed for bridesmaids, its elegant and showstopping design makes it perfectly suitable for a wide range of other formal events, such as black-tie galas, proms, or other special occasions.

Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric, especially the delicate tulle or sequin embellishments, is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you close it. If it remains stuck, do not force it; try moving it up and down slowly, or apply a tiny amount of lubricant (like a pencil lead) to the teeth if fabric isn't the issue.
Sequins or beads are coming loose.
This can happen with delicate embellishments. Handle the dress with extreme care. For minor issues, small loose threads can be carefully trimmed, or a professional tailor specializing in embellished garments can re-secure loose elements. Avoid rough surfaces or items that might snag the embellishments.
Dress appears creased, especially the tulle skirt.
Info needed: [Specific recommendations for steaming/ironing]. If permitted, use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it several inches away from the fabric. For the tulle skirt, hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom can help release minor creases. Avoid direct heat from an iron, especially on embellished areas.
The fit feels too tight or restrictive.
As the dress has no stretch, accurate measurements are essential. If the dress feels too tight, especially in the bodice, it may require professional alteration from a tailor experienced with formal and embellished wear. If significantly undersized, exchanging for a larger size might be necessary, referring to the brand's size guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Wearing this dress is straightforward. Simply step into the dress and fasten the rear concealed zip. Ensure all fabric is clear of the zipper teeth before zipping up to prevent snagging the delicate material or embellishments. It's recommended to have assistance for zipping up, especially to ensure a smooth closure over the embellished bodice.

Its sophisticated design also makes it suitable for other formal occasions, black-tie events, and elegant parties.
Care Instructions
Given the delicate nature of the sequins and hand-sewn beads, proper care is crucial to maintain the dress's beauty and longevity:
- Cleaning: Info needed: [Specific care instructions from the garment's label should be followed]. Generally, embellished garments of this nature often require professional dry cleaning only. Avoid machine washing or hand washing, as this can damage the sequins and beadwork.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid folding for extended periods, as this can crease the tulle and potentially damage embellishments.
- Handling: Handle with care to prevent snagging the delicate tulle or dislodging sequins and beads. Avoid wearing jewelry that might catch on the fabric.
- Ironing/Steaming: Info needed: [Specific recommendations for ironing/steaming]. If steaming is permitted, use a low heat setting and hold the steamer away from the fabric, particularly the embellished areas, to avoid damage. Ironing is generally not recommended for sequined or tulle garments.
