The Karen Millen Bandage Knit Contrast Cross Front Dress is designed for the style-conscious individual seeking a sculptural, architectural piece for formal events like weddings, galas, or race days. Its primary benefit is a body-skimming bandage construction that offers both structure and a flattering, elongated silhouette through precise geometric detailing. While this dress delivers a high-impact look, users should note that the form-fitting nature of the bandage knit requires careful selection of undergarments to ensure a seamless, smooth finish.

Due to the open back and racer front, we recommend using silicone adhesive cups or skin-toned seamless backless shapewear.
Yes, the dress includes elastane in the polyester blend to ensure a comfortable, body-skimming fit that stretches to follow your contours.
Yes, the sleeveless design and open back offer good ventilation, though the structured knit is best suited for moderate temperatures.
Always check the internal garment tag; typically, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the structural contrast binding.
The dress is designed for a firm, bandage-style fit; if you prefer a slightly less compressive feel, consider the specific sizing measurements for your UK dress size.
Lay the dress flat on a clean surface for 24 hours to allow the elastane fibers to retract and return to their original tension.
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp fabric scissors; do not pull them, as this may compromise the binding structure.
Because the dress is crafted from a specialized bandage knit, it is essential to store it flat or on a high-quality padded hanger to prevent the material from stretching out of shape. Given the open-back and racer-neck design, we recommend adhesive bras or backless specialty undergarments for the most seamless look. To maintain the crisp geometric binding, it is best to adhere strictly to the care label instructions provided on the garment tag, usually necessitating delicate hand washing or professional dry cleaning to protect the contrast stitching and fabric elasticity. Avoid contact with rough surfaces to prevent pulling the delicate binding or knit fibers.
