FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing; however, because crepe is a structured fabric, we recommend checking your measurements against the Coast size guide.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this garment is dry-clean only to protect the delicate ruching and the quality of the crepe fabric.
Does the dress have a built-in bra?
It is designed with a structured bodice, but for optimal support, we recommend wearing a strapless adhesive bra.
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
Like many formal crepe fabrics, it can snag on sharp jewelry; please be mindful of bracelets or accessories when putting on the dress.
Can this be altered for length?
Yes, a professional tailor can easily hem the floor-length skirt to fit your height requirements.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases upon arrival
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a garment steamer on a very low setting from a distance of at least 6 inches.
Neckline feeling too tight or restrictive
Ensure the shoulders are correctly positioned; if it continues to feel tight, consider a professional tailor to adjust the inner support structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the dress, prioritize professional dry cleaning to protect the delicate ruching and fabric finish. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and cover the dress with a garment bag to protect against dust and snags. If the dress requires steaming, use a low-heat setting at a distance to avoid damaging the crepe texture. Given the UK sizing of 14, it is recommended to check specific measurements against a standard size chart to ensure the waist and bust alignment meets your requirements.
