FAQs
Is this dress suitable for all body types?
This dress is specifically designed in a 'Petite Column Style' to flatter petite frames and accentuate curves. While it offers an elegant silhouette, its no-stretch nature means the fit is very precise.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the Bardot (off-the-shoulder) neckline, a strapless bra, adhesive bra, or silicone pasties are recommended to maintain a seamless and elegant look without visible bra straps.
How do I choose the correct size since there's no stretch?
It is crucial to consult the official Coast brand size chart before purchasing. Take accurate body measurements and compare them to the chart to ensure you select the size that best matches your dimensions for a comfortable and flattering fit.
What type of events is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings (especially for bridesmaids), galas, formal dinners, and other elegant events where a sophisticated and structured look is desired.
How should I store this dress to maintain its shape?
To preserve the sculptural quality of the heavy twill fabric, it's best to store the dress hanging on a wide, padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Keep it in a garment bag to protect it from dust and light.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too restrictive or tight.
The dress is made from a no-stretch twill fabric, designed for a sculptural fit. If it feels too restrictive, ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Coast size chart for precise measurements. It's important that a no-stretch garment fits true to size for comfort.
Difficulty zipping up the rear concealed zip.
The rear concealed zip is designed to be discreet. For easier fastening, especially for the last few inches, it can be helpful to have a second person assist you. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth as you pull it up.
Bardot neckline keeps slipping.
Ensure the dress is properly sized and pulled up fully. The Bardot neckline is designed to sit securely off the shoulders. If it continues to slip, check that your undergarments are not interfering with its placement, and consider using fashion tape for extra security if needed.
Fabric appears creased after storage.
The heavy twill fabric is prone to some creasing if not stored properly. Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer, or hang it in a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles. Always follow care label instructions to avoid damaging the fabric.
