How should I care for this dress?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress immediately on a padded hanger. For best results, use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If using an iron, ensure it's on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth.
Cowl back is not laying smoothly.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate seamless and supportive undergarments. A small piece of double-sided fashion tape can be used discreetly to secure the drape if needed, ensuring it lays flat against your back.
The dress feels too long or short.
The dress is designed as floor-length. If the length is not ideal even with your chosen heels, consult a professional tailor for alterations. Do this well in advance of your event.
Fabric has minor snags or pulls.
Polyester crepe is durable, but minor snags can occur. Use a small crochet hook or needle to gently pull the snagged thread back to the inside of the garment. Do not cut the thread, as this can worsen the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most from your Coast Honoured Bridesmaid Dress involves simple preparation, thoughtful pairing, and proper maintenance.
Setup & Preparation
- Unpack & Hang: Upon arrival, promptly remove the dress from its packaging and hang it on a padded hanger to allow any creases from shipping to naturally fall out.
- Steaming (Optional): For a perfectly smooth finish, gently steam the dress. Avoid direct, high heat from an iron, which can damage polyester crepe. If ironing is necessary, use the lowest setting with a pressing cloth.
- Check Fit: Try on the dress with the intended undergarments and shoes well before your event to ensure a perfect fit. Allow time for professional alterations if needed.
Compatibility
- Accessories: Best paired with delicate metallic jewelry, such as simple hoop earrings or slender necklaces that do not compete with the neckline. Strappy heels are recommended to complement the floor-length design.
- Hair: An elegant updo or a sleek low bun will best showcase the dramatic cowl back detail.
- Outerwear: For cooler conditions, a simple, tailored shawl or an elegant wrap in a complementary color will maintain the dress's sophisticated aesthetic.
Care & Maintenance
The dress is crafted from Polyester crepe. Proper care is essential to maintain its beautiful drape and finish:
- Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry or hang to drip dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and prevent wrinkles. Ensure the dress is fully dry before storing.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Steaming is preferred over ironing.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent stretching or fading.
