Wedding coast

A little blue chiffon dress, its hem fringed with marabou feathers, was a Coast sell-out last summer. Translated into white, it is now part of its debut bridal collection, a capsule group featuring a number of fluid, concertina styles very much in keeping with the Coast look.

Cutwork embroidery or crystal belts decorate slim columns of backless pleated numbers, while stiff net underskirts give structure to the tulle prom dresses, with embroidered cardigans to cuddle naked shoulders.

The collection will only be on sale in Coast’s Irish outlet in Dundrum from the end of March, and only eight of each style will be on offer. Sizes are from 8 to 18, with a possibility of a size 6, and prices start at about €380 for the dresses. There are also accessories, such as silk satin sandals and lace stilettos, to go with the collection. See coast-stores.com for details.
