FAQs
What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings (especially for bridesmaids), galas, formal dinners, and other special events where an elegant dress code is appropriate.
What kind of fabric is Satin Back Crepe?
Satin Back Crepe is a luxurious fabric known for having a smooth, lustrous satin face on one side and a textured, matte crepe finish on the other. It offers a beautiful drape and a sophisticated feel.
How should I clean this dress?
For best results and to preserve the fabric's quality, dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, and air dry flat or on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight.
Can I iron this dress?
Yes, but with caution. Use a very low heat setting and iron from the inside out. Steaming is often a gentler and preferred method for removing wrinkles from Satin Back Crepe.
Does this dress come in other colors or sizes?
Info needed: Please check the product listing or Coast's official website for availability of other colors and sizes beyond the Green UK 14.
How can I prevent static cling with this fabric?
To prevent static cling, you can use an anti-static spray specifically designed for clothing, or wear a slip underneath the dress made from a natural fiber like cotton.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress immediately upon unpacking. Use a steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If a steamer is unavailable, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a very low heat setting from the inside out.
Fabric snags easily.
Satin Back Crepe is delicate. Be mindful of rough surfaces, sharp jewelry, and pet claws. Handle with care when putting on or taking off the dress.
Stains appear on the fabric.
Act quickly to address stains. Blot (do not rub) with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap. For persistent or oil-based stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended as soon as possible.
Dress length is too long or too short.
The maxi length is designed to be floor-skimming. For a perfect fit, consult a professional tailor for alterations. They can adjust the hem length without compromising the dress's design.
Dress feels uncomfortable or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on Coast's sizing guide. The fabric is designed to flow; if it feels tight, consider a size up. For minor discomfort, check for any bunched lining or undergarments.

Care Instructions
For optimal care of the Satin Back Crepe fabric:
- Cleaning: It is generally recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve its delicate texture and drape. If hand washing, do so delicately in cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
