FAQs
What type of events is this dress suitable for?
This dress is primarily designed for formal events such as weddings (especially for bridesmaids), galas, and other upscale evening occasions due to its elegant design and floor-length cut.
How should I clean this dress?
Always refer to the care label inside the dress. For best results and to maintain the fabric's quality, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. If hand washing is permitted by the label, use cold water and a mild detergent.
What kind of accessories should I wear with this dress?
Due to its sophisticated design, delicate metallic accessories like simple hoop earrings, slender necklaces, and elegant strappy heels complement the dress best without overwhelming its features, especially the cowl back.
Can I wear a regular bra with the cowl back?
For the best look, a regular bra may interfere with the cowl back's drape. Consider options like stick-on bra cups, a low-back converter, or a seamless, low-back bra to ensure the back detail lies smoothly.
Is the dress suitable for different body types?
Yes, the dress features subtle gathering at the waist, which is designed to create a flattering silhouette and enhance various body types, providing an elegant and comfortable fit.
What material is the dress made of?
The dress is crafted from smooth crepe fabric, which is made of Polyester, providing both comfort and a beautiful drape.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress immediately upon receipt. Most wrinkles from packaging will relax. For stubborn creases, use a garment steamer or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth.
Cowl back doesn't drape correctly.
Ensure the dress is properly sized and not pulled too tight across the shoulders or chest. Adjust the fabric gently to encourage the drape. A seamless, low-back bra or stick-on cups can help the back lay smoothly.
Dress feels uncomfortable or restrictive.
Verify you have the correct size. The smooth crepe fabric should allow for comfortable movement. Ensure your undergarments are not creating tension points.
Fabric seems to cling.
This can be caused by static electricity. Consider using an anti-static spray specifically designed for clothing, or lightly rub the inside of the dress with a dryer sheet.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity and beauty of your Coast Honoured dress:
- Cleaning:
- Refer to the Care Label: Always check the specific care instructions on the dress's internal label.
- Dry Cleaning Recommended: For best results and to preserve the fabric's drape, professional dry cleaning is often recommended for crepe materials, especially for formal wear.
- Hand Wash (if permitted): If hand washing is an option on the care label, use cold water with a mild detergent. Gently agitate and rinse thoroughly. Do not wring or twist.
- Drying:
- Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage polyester crepe.
- Ironing/Steaming:
- If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth or steam the garment gently to remove wrinkles. Avoid direct, high heat.
- Storage:
- Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain its shape. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
