FAQs
How do I determine the right size?
Consult the Coast size chart, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. Consider your height when assessing the length.
Can I alter the dress?
Yes, alterations are often necessary for a perfect fit, especially for the length. A professional tailor can make adjustments.
What kind of shoes should I wear?
Heels are typically worn with maxi dresses, but ensure comfort. Consider the venue (e.g., grass vs. dance floor) when choosing heel height.
How should I store the dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
How do I care for the satin fabric?
Dry clean only. Avoid washing the dress at home. Iron on a low setting if needed.
What accessories go well with this dress?
Delicate jewelry, such as drop earrings and a simple bracelet, complement the dress's elegance. A clutch or small bag completes the look.
What if the dress doesn't fit perfectly when it arrives?
Contact the retailer or Coast's customer service for assistance. Alterations are often a solution.
Troubleshooting
Dress is too long.
Consult a tailor for alterations. Hemming is a common adjustment for floor-length gowns.
Wrinkles in the satin fabric.
Use a low-heat iron or a steamer. Place a cloth between the iron and the dress to protect the fabric.
Finding the right bra.
Use a strapless bra, adhesive cups, or a bra with clear straps that can be hidden.
