FAQs
What is the primary material of this coat?
The coat is crafted from high-quality wool, providing natural warmth, a luxurious feel, and a sophisticated drape.
How should I clean my Ted Baker Rose Belted Midi Coat?
Dry cleaning is strongly recommended for this wool coat to maintain its shape, texture, and overall quality. For minor spots, gently blot with a damp cloth and a wool-safe detergent.
Is this coat suitable for very cold winter weather?
While wool offers warmth, this midi coat is best suited for transitional seasons like autumn and spring, or milder winter days. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal wear underneath or choosing a heavier-duty winter coat might be preferable.
How do I create the flattering silhouette mentioned in the description?
The coat's flattering silhouette is primarily achieved by utilizing the self-tie belt. Cinch the belt around your waist to highlight your natural curves and adjust the wrap-front for your desired level of coverage and fit. The dramatic waterfall collar also contributes to the elegant shaping.
Can I wear this coat for both formal and casual occasions?
Absolutely. Its versatile design, clean lines, and midi length make it perfectly adaptable for both. Pair it with tailored attire for formal events or wear it over casual outfits like jeans and a sweater for an elevated everyday look.
How do I maintain the shape of the waterfall collar?
The waterfall collar is designed to drape elegantly. To maintain its shape, hang the coat on a well-shaped hanger when not in use. You can gently reshape it with your hands after wearing or use a light steam if it appears creased.
Are there internal pockets?

Troubleshooting
Coat appears wrinkled after storage or wear
Hang the coat in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, allowing the steam to relax the fibers. Alternatively, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping it a few inches from the fabric. If using an iron, always use a pressing cloth and a low heat setting.
Self-tie belt does not stay securely tied or slips
Ensure you are tying the belt firmly. For a more secure hold, try a double knot. You can also experiment with different knot styles, such as a reef knot, which provides a flatter and more secure hold than a granny knot. If wearing a bow, ensure the loops are tight before pulling the ends.
Fabric feels less soft or has developed minor pilling
Pilling is a natural occurrence in wool fabrics with friction. Gently remove any visible pills using a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb/de-piller. To prevent future pilling, reduce friction by avoiding wearing abrasive accessories directly against the coat and follow proper cleaning instructions.

Setup: Wearing Your Belted Midi Coat To wear your Ted Baker Rose Belted Midi Coat, simply slip it on. The wrap-front design allows you to adjust how tightly it closes.

Spot clean minor stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild detergent specifically designed for wool, blotting gently. - Storage: Hang the coat on a broad-shouldered hanger to prevent stretching and maintain its shape. Avoid folding it for extended periods to prevent creasing. Store in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and moths. - Wrinkle Removal: Use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles. If using an iron, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the wool fabric. Never iron directly on wool without protection. - Pilling: If minor pilling occurs over time, gently remove it with a fabric shaver or a dedicated de-piller.
