FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, cocktail parties, and other special evening occasions due to its luxurious velvet fabric and sophisticated design.

How should I care for the velvet fabric?

It is highly recommended to dry clean the dress. If hand washing is an option per the care label, use cold water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing or wringing. Always iron on the reverse side at a low temperature or use a steamer.

What size should I order?

Please refer to the Karen Millen sizing chart for accurate measurements. The specific size listed is UK 16.

Can I wear this dress without a bra?

The bandeau neckline offers a strapless design. Depending on your preference for support and coverage, you may choose to wear a strapless bra or adhesive bust enhancers.

What color is the dress?

The dress is a rich burgundy, which falls under the red color family.

Is this dress suitable for warmer weather?

While velvet is a luxurious fabric, it can be warmer. This dress is best suited for evening events or cooler seasons. For warmer weather, consider the breathability of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Velvet pile appears crushed or flattened

Gently steam the garment on the reverse side or use a soft brush to lift the pile. Avoid direct ironing on the velvet surface.

Color appears uneven

Ensure the dress is clean and has been cared for according to instructions. Inconsistent color might be due to lighting; check under natural light.

Dress feels restrictive

Confirm the correct size has been selected. Consider undergarments that offer a smooth silhouette. Ensure the garment has been properly stored to avoid stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This dress requires no setup as it is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you refer to the care label for specific washing instructions, as velvet typically requires gentle handling to maintain its texture and color.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Recommended: To preserve the integrity of the velvet and prevent damage, dry cleaning is the preferred method.
  • Hand Wash (if specified): If hand washing is permitted, use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the delicate fibers of the velvet.

  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light.
