Karen Millen Soft Tailored Halterneck Open Back Maxi Dress - Green - Size 16

Due to the dramatic open back, consider low-back bras, adhesive bras, or simply forgo a bra if the fabric provides sufficient support and coverage.

Yes, like most formal wear, this dress can be altered. Common alterations include hemming the length and adjusting the fit. Consult a professional tailor for best results.

Polyester is generally not as breathable as natural fibers like cotton or linen. For very warm weather, consider lighter-weight or natural fiber options if breathability is a primary concern.

Complement the dress with elegant, understated accessories. Strappy heels, a sleek clutch, and minimalist jewelry (like statement earrings) work well. A tailored blazer or delicate wrap can be added for cooler temperatures.

This dress is best suited for formal events such as weddings, black-tie functions, galas, and sophisticated evening receptions.

The dress should be dry-cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to preserve the fabric's integrity and drape.

Ensure the dress is fully uncreased and has had adequate time to relax after unpacking. If the issue persists, consider professional steaming or pressing according to care instructions.

While designed for movement, if the side split feels too tight for comfort, a tailor can adjust the split's length or placement slightly.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or have it professionally dry-cleaned and pressed. Avoid excessive heat.
