Full details
The Karen Millen Printed Cold Shoulder Maxi Dress is designed for the modern woman seeking a sophisticated yet dramatic ensemble for high-profile formal events, such as weddings, black-tie dinners, or race days. This dress balances a sleek, structured cady bodice with billowy, printed viscose georgette sleeves, offering a striking architectural silhouette; however, due to its floor-sweeping length, it is best suited for wear with heels to avoid fabric drag.

FAQs
What is the length of the dress?
The dress is designed as a floor-sweeping maxi with a length of approximately 135cm.
Can I wash this dress in a machine?
No, due to the delicate georgette sleeves and the structured corsage, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Given the cold shoulder design and back detailing, a seamless, strapless, or adhesive bra is recommended for a clean silhouette.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The body is crafted from woven viscose cady, which is designed to hold a structured shape rather than offer high elasticity.
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
It is perfect for formal events including black-tie dinners, weddings, race days, and galas.
Does the bodice fit true to size?
The dress is designed with a sleek, structured fit; refer to the brand's size guide for your specific UK size measurements to ensure the best fit around the torso.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the georgette sleeves
Use a low-temperature garment steamer from a distance of at least 15cm to gently release creases.
Corsage detail looks flat
Gently fluff the fabric layers of the corsage with your fingers to restore the sculptural, layered shape.
Fabric catching on jewelry
Remove bracelets or sharp rings while putting on or removing the dress to prevent snags in the georgette.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in pristine condition, store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or fabric snags on the corsage detail. Given the delicate nature of the viscose georgette sleeves and the structure of the cady body, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid contact with abrasive jewelry or accessories that could catch on the delicate sleeve material. Before your event, steam the garment lightly to remove any transit wrinkles, being careful to maintain distance from the corsage. If the hem is too long for your chosen footwear, a professional tailor can adjust the length of the floor-skimming skirt without compromising the overall architectural design.
