FAQs
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from Polyester, featuring embellished sequins with hand-sewn beads.
Does this dress have any stretch?
No, this dress has "no level of stretch" in its fabrication, contributing to its structured, sculptural silhouette.
How should I clean this dress?
Info needed for specific cleaning instructions. However, due to the delicate hand-sewn sequins and beads, "professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended" to maintain the integrity of the embellishments and fabric. Avoid machine washing.
Is this dress suitable for events other than weddings?
Absolutely! While designed for bridesmaids, its sophisticated, glamorous aesthetic makes it perfect for other formal events, galas, evening parties, or any occasion where you wish to make a statement.
How does the dress fasten?
The dress fastens securely with a "rear concealed zip", ensuring a smooth and elegant finish.
Can different sizes of this dress be ordered for a bridal party?
Yes, as part of the 'Coast Honoured Collection,' this style is available in a selection of sizes (e.g., UK 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) and colour palettes, making it ideal for mix-and-match bridesmaid groups.
What kind of fit can I expect?
Expect a "sculptural and elegant fit". The heavyweight, non-stretch fabric is designed to encase your figure, creating a defined and sophisticated silhouette rather than a loose or flowing one.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric, especially the delicate tulle or embellishments, is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up or down, never forcing it. If persistently stuck, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can be applied carefully, avoiding contact with the fabric.
Sequins or beads appear loose or are falling off.
Due to the hand-sewn nature of the embellishments, occasional loosening can occur. Handle the dress gently. If a bead comes off, save it if possible. For repairs, it is recommended to take the dress to a professional tailor experienced with delicate embellishments.
Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable despite being the correct size.
This dress has "no stretch" and a heavyweight feel designed for a sculptural silhouette. If it feels uncomfortably tight, especially around the bodice or sleeves, it might be that a larger size is needed, or professional tailoring for minor adjustments could be explored if possible with the non-stretch fabric.

Care Instructions
Due to its "embellished sequin fabrication with hand-sewn beads" and "no stretch" material (Polyester), this dress requires "delicate care":
- "Cleaning": Info needed for specific cleaning instructions, but due to delicate embellishments, "professional dry cleaning is often recommended" to preserve the integrity of the sequins and beads. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
- "Handling": Always handle the dress gently. Avoid pulling or tugging, especially around seams and the zipper, given the lack of stretch.
- "Storage": Store flat or hang carefully on a padded hanger to prevent stress on the embellishments and maintain the shape of the tulle skirt. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- "Ironing/Steaming": Use a low heat setting for steaming (never iron directly on sequins or beads) or consult a professional cleaner for pressing.
