Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Filament Knit Midi Dress is an ideal choice for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a blend of architectural structure and fluid movement for formal or smart-casual occasions. Its primary benefit is the sophisticated interplay between a sheer ribbed bodice and a fuller-weight pleated skirt, creating a sculpted, flattering silhouette. However, users should note that the delicate viscose-blend fabric requires careful handling, as it is susceptible to snagging on jewelry or rough surfaces.

FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is designed to sit at approximately 129cm, generally hitting at the lower leg.

Can I wear this to a wedding?

Yes, its refined silhouette and sophisticated design make it a perfect option for wedding guests or formal cultural events.

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

The viscose-blend knit is designed for a fluid drape; however, due to its construction, it should be hung properly to avoid deep creases.

How should I clean this garment?

Always check the internal care label, though professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the integrity of the pleated skirt.

Does the bodice look through?

The bodice features a sheer ribbed knit. Depending on your preference, you may choose to layer with appropriate undergarments for more coverage.

Troubleshooting

Small snag in the knit fabric

Use a specialized knit-repair tool or a blunt needle to gently pull the snagged loop back through to the reverse side of the fabric. Do not pull or cut the snag.

Pleats losing their crispness

Gently steam the skirt section using a garment steamer, holding the steam nozzle several inches away from the fabric to help the fibers relax back into their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen Filament Knit Midi Dress, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Handling: Exercise caution when putting on or taking off the dress. Be mindful of sharp jewelry, watches, or rough textures that could cause the delicate knit to pull or snag.
  2. Storage: Store the dress hanging on a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the shape of the knit, or fold it carefully to prevent heavy pulling on the shoulders.
  3. Cleaning: Consult the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Due to the viscose blend, hand washing or professional dry cleaning is often the safest route to maintain the integrity of the pleats.
  4. Ironing: Avoid direct high heat on the pleated section to prevent flattening the structured ribbing. Use a garment steamer if needed, keeping a safe distance from the fabric.
