Full details

This Karen Millen Compact Stretch Bow Detail Pencil Dress in Red, size 8, is designed for the modern woman seeking sophisticated and statement-making attire. Its key benefit is the architectural oversized bow detail paired with a flattering fitted silhouette, offering a couture-inspired look for special events or elevated professional settings.

FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for smart work events, weddings, formal lunches, cocktail parties, and any occasion where a sophisticated and statement-making outfit is desired.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a compact stretch fabrication, primarily Polyester with added Elastane for comfort and shape retention.

How should I care for this dress?

It is recommended to dry clean the dress only. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress falls to a midi length, approximately 123cm from shoulder to hem.

Does the dress run true to size?

The dress is designed for a fitted, body-skimming shape. It's advisable to consult a size guide or consider the fitted nature when selecting your size. The stretch fabrication offers some flexibility.

Can the bow detail be removed or altered?

The oversized bow is a key design feature and is permanently attached. Altering it is not recommended as it would change the intended silhouette and design of the dress.

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice, seamless undergarments are recommended. A strapless or convertible bra may be suitable depending on personal preference and fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival.

Hang the dress for a few hours; the stretch fabrication often helps it recover. If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side.

Fit is slightly off.

Consider professional tailoring. The fitted silhouette may benefit from minor adjustments for a perfect custom fit.

Bow detail loses shape.

Ensure proper storage by hanging the dress. Avoid folding it in a way that compresses the bow. Professional dry cleaning should help restore its structure.
