This Karen Millen Bandage Figure Form Knit Embellished Maxi Dress is designed for the adult female seeking a commanding presence at formal occasions. Its key benefit is the body-sculpting silhouette combined with striking crystal and jewel embellishments that ensure you command attention. A potential caveat is the specialized care required for the knit construction and embellishments to maintain its pristine condition. The dress features a maxi length, sweetheart square neckline with a keyhole cut-out, embellished straps and waistband, and a front centre split for ease of movement, all crafted from an elastane-blend wool for a structured, comfortable fit.

The dress is crafted from an elastane-blend wool, providing a structured and comfortable fit.
Refer to the brand's sizing guide for Karen Millen dresses. Given the body-sculpting fit, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements is recommended.
Yes, this dress is suitable for formal summer weddings, especially evening events, provided the dress code is appropriate for a maxi-length, embellished gown.
The maxi-length construction falls to approximately 144cm.
Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the integrity of the wool blend and the crystal and jewel embellishments.
The embellishments are designed to be a feature without adding excessive weight, intended to catch light elegantly.
Due to the close fit and neckline, seamless undergarments are recommended. A strapless or convertible bra may be suitable depending on personal comfort and the exact fit around the bust.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage knit is designed for a close fit; consider if the fit is a deliberate design choice or a sizing error. For minor tightness, the elastane blend may offer slight give over time.
Carefully inspect the embellishments. If a few are loose, a professional tailor or seamstress may be able to re-secure them. For significant damage, contact the retailer or Karen Millen customer service.
Handle the garment with care to avoid snags, especially around jewellery or rough surfaces. If minor pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be used cautiously on non-embellished areas.

Care Instructions:
Due to the delicate knit construction and embellished details, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the fabric and embellishments. Store the dress flat or on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Iron on a very low heat setting if absolutely necessary, preferably with a pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact with the embellishments.
