Full details

This Karen Millen maxi dress is designed for adult females seeking a show-stopping garment for formal occasions. Its key benefit is creating a dramatic and sophisticated silhouette with its cape overlay and cross-front bodice. A potential caveat is that its unique design may require specific styling to achieve the intended look. The dress is crafted from lightweight georgette fabric, featuring a halterneck, cross-front bodice, a statement cape-style overlay, and an open back, all in a floor-sweeping maxi length.

Does the dress come in other sizes or colours?

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most garments, it can be altered by a professional tailor, particularly for length adjustment. However, significant alterations to the cape or bodice may impact the original design.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too long

The maxi length may require professional tailoring for a perfect fit. Consider hemming to your specific height and shoe choice.

Creasing of the georgette fabric

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to gently release minor creases. For persistent wrinkles, professional dry cleaning with cool ironing is recommended.

Styling challenges with the open back

Opt for adhesive bras or backless bra solutions. Minimalist jewellery will allow the dress's design to remain the focal point.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To maintain the integrity and fabric quality of the georgette material, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
  • Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and prevent creasing. Hang to avoid undue stress on the fabric.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on the crinkle texture. It is advisable to consult a professional if unsure.
