FAQs
Can this dress be altered?
Alterations are possible, but due to the intricate sequin embellishments and delicate tulle fabric, it's highly recommended to use a professional tailor experienced with formal and embellished garments to avoid damage and ensure a proper finish.
How should I clean the dress?
Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the dress's quality and the integrity of its delicate embellishments and fabric. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Is the dress comfortable to wear for long periods?
While it offers a sculptural fit and is made from a heavyweight, luxurious fabric, comfort can vary by individual. The absence of stretch means a precise fit is key for optimal comfort. The design prioritizes elegance and structure.
What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is primarily designed for highly formal events such as weddings (as a bridesmaid or guest), black-tie galas, and other elegant celebrations requiring a sophisticated, showstopping ensemble.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
Yes, as part of the Coast Honoured Collection, this style is available in a selection of bestselling colour palettes and a comprehensive range of sizes, perfect for mix-and-match bridal parties.
How do I choose the correct size since there is no stretch?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. It is crucial to measure yourself carefully. If your measurements fall between sizes, consider opting for the larger size as the fabric has no give, and minor alterations can be made if needed.
Will the sequins fall off easily?
The sequins are hand-sewn, indicating a higher quality application. With proper care and gentle handling, excessive shedding should not be an issue. Avoid rubbing or catching the embellished areas on rough surfaces or jewelry.
Troubleshooting
Sequins becoming loose or falling off
Handle the dress with extreme care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid harsh rubbing or snagging on jewelry. For any significant damage, consult a professional tailor specializing in embellished garments.
Rear concealed zip getting stuck or difficult to operate
Gently pull the zip, ensuring no fabric from the dress lining or outer shell is caught. Avoid forcing it, as this can damage the zip or the delicate fabric. If fabric is caught, carefully free it before trying again.
Tulle skirt appears creased or wrinkled
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it a safe distance from the fabric and moving continuously over the affected areas. Do not iron the tulle or sequin areas directly, as high heat can damage them.
Dress fit feels restrictive due to no stretch
Ensure you have consulted the brand's specific size guide carefully before purchase. If the fit is slightly off, minor alterations may be possible by a professional tailor experienced with delicate and embellished fabrics, but significant changes are difficult.

Setup (Preparing for Wear):
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the dress from its packaging, being mindful not to snag sequins or delicate tulle. Avoid pulling or tugging.
- Gentle Steaming: To remove any creases from the tulle skirt, use a hand-held garment steamer on a low setting. Hold the steamer a safe distance from the fabric and move it continuously. Do not iron the tulle or sequin-embellished areas directly.
- Hanging Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, particularly across the shoulders, and prevent stretching or creasing of the delicate fabrics.
Compatibility:
- Bridal Party Coordination: This dress is a core piece of the Coast Honoured Collection, designed for effortless mix-and-match with other styles and color palettes within the same range. This ensures a cohesive yet personalized look for your bridal party.
- Footwear: The maxi length typically pairs best with heels to achieve an elegant drape and to enhance the overall sophisticated silhouette.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate sequin embellishments and tulle fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity and appearance of the dress and its intricate details.
- Spot Cleaning: For very minor marks, gently dab the area with a clean, damp cloth using a mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which could damage sequins or distort the tulle.
- Storage: Store the dress in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and to protect the embellishments from dust and snags. Avoid compressing the dress, which can flatten the tulle or damage sequins.
- Handling: Always handle the dress with care, especially around embellished areas, to prevent sequins from catching on jewelry or other fabrics.
