FAQs
What is 'Satin Back Crepe' fabric?
Satin Back Crepe is a luxurious fabric with a unique construction. One side features a matte, textured crepe finish, while the reverse side has a smooth, lustrous satin sheen. This allows for versatility in design and provides a beautiful drape.
Is this dress true to size?
The dress is generally designed to fit true to standard UK sizing. However, body shapes vary, so referring to Coast's specific size guide (if available) and considering your measurements is always recommended for the best fit.
Can this dress be worn for occasions other than bridesmaids?
Absolutely. While ideal for bridesmaids, its elegant design makes it perfectly suitable for other formal events such as black-tie galas, formal dinners, proms, or as a sophisticated wedding guest dress.
How should I store this dress to maintain its quality?
To protect the fabric and maintain the dress's shape, store it on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid folding it for extended periods, as this can cause permanent creases.
Is this dress available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, this style is typically available in a range of UK sizes and potentially other colors. Please check the product page or Coast's official website for current availability and specific options.
What type of undergarments are best with this dress?
Due to the smooth nature of satin back crepe, seamless and supportive undergarments are recommended to ensure a sleek and flattering silhouette. A good quality strapless or adhesive bra may be suitable depending on personal preference and support needs.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after travel or storage.
Gently steam the dress using a handheld steamer or hang it in a steamy bathroom. The humidity will help release wrinkles. Avoid direct iron contact on the satin side.
Fit feels slightly off or too loose/tight.
The dress is designed for a standard fit. For optimal comfort and appearance, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments. Satin fabric does not offer much stretch.
Accidental stain on the fabric.
Do not rub the stain, as this can spread it or damage the fabric. Blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn or significant stains, seek immediate professional dry cleaning, informing them of the stain type.
Fabric snags or pulls.
Satin back crepe can be delicate. If a small snag occurs, gently try to ease the thread back into place with a fine needle. Avoid pulling the thread. For significant damage, professional repair may be required.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity and beauty of your satin back crepe dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Professional Dry Cleaning Recommended: This is the safest method for cleaning satin back crepe to prevent damage and maintain the fabric's finish.
- Hand Washing (Delicate Option): If professional cleaning is not immediately possible, very carefully hand wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Gently swish the dress in the water, avoiding harsh scrubbing or wringing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently press excess water out with a clean towel. Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing & Steaming: Direct high heat can damage satin. Avoid ironing directly on the satin side. If wrinkles need to be removed, use a garment steamer or iron on a very low setting on the crepe side with a pressing cloth, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
