Full details
This Karen Millen Double Cloth Halterneck Midi Dress in Yellow, Size 18, is designed for adult females seeking elegant, sophisticated attire for warm-weather occasions. Its key benefit is the refined yet relaxed silhouette, achieved through a gathered halterneck and a beautifully flared midi skirt. A potential consideration is its specific sizing, making it ideal for those who typically wear a UK size 18. Key features include a 100% cotton construction for breathability, a structured waistband for definition, and a double cloth weave for texture and graceful movement.

Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight at the waist.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The structured waistband is designed for a defined fit; consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn wrinkles, consult the care label for ironing instructions, using a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
Color fading after washing.
Always wash cotton garments in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying; air dry in the shade to preserve color vibrancy.
Halterneck strap feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the dress is fastened correctly. If the strap consistently causes discomfort, consider consulting a tailor for minor strap adjustments if feasible.
