Full details
This Karen Millen Asymmetric Shoulder Maxi Dress is an ideal choice for formal occasions, weddings, or black-tie events for those seeking a sophisticated, sculptural silhouette. Featuring a luxurious satin-finish woven fabric and an elegant fluted hem, it offers a graceful, fluid movement; however, due to its floor-skimming length and bias-cut design, it requires careful movement and specific footwear to maintain its pristine appearance.

FAQs
What occasions are best suited for this dress?
This dress is perfect for weddings, black-tie events, graduation ceremonies, or formal days at the races.
How long is the dress?
The dress is designed at approximately 143cm in length to create an elegant floor-skimming effect.
What type of jewelry should I wear with the asymmetric neckline?
Due to the architectural shoulder detail, it is best to skip necklaces and focus on delicate bracelets or earrings.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Given the delicate satin material and structured draping, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is fitted through the torso to create a sculptural effect, so it does not have the stretch of casual jersey fabrics.
What shoes should I pair with this?
Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to complement the length and the fluid drape of the skirt.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to prevent water spots.
Hem dragging on the ground
Pair with a higher heel or consult a professional tailor to adjust the length specifically for your chosen footwear.
Difficulty with zipper movement
Ensure the bodice is fully aligned and free of interior fabric catches before zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is crafted from a refined satin-finish material, proper care is essential to maintain the sheen and structure. Always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions, though dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the draped detailing. When storing, hang the dress in a breathable garment bag to avoid snagging the satin surface. Ensure it is kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
