Karen Millen Foil Metallic Figure Form Bandage Strappy Knit Maxi Dress - Silver - Size 18

The dress is designed with a close, body-skimming bandage fit. If you prefer a slightly less compressed feel, you may want to consider your standard sizing but acknowledge the intended sculpted silhouette.

No, machine washing is not recommended. The metallic foil finish is delicate and requires professional dry cleaning to avoid damage to the fabric.

The dress is a maxi length, falling approximately 125cm from the centre back.

Yes, the garment is composed of a stretch-knit with elastane, which allows it to hug the body while still offering ease of movement.

Given the square neckline and broad straps, a balcony or multi-way bra that offers support without showing at the neckline is ideal.

The knit is designed for comfort against the skin; however, those with extreme fabric sensitivities should note the metallic coating has a textured, slightly tactile feel.

The bandage knit is designed for a compression fit; ensure you are using proper undergarments that do not create bulk or visible lines.

Ensure the garment is stored away from direct sunlight and moisture, which can degrade the foil finish over time.

If the 125cm length is too long, consult a professional tailor experienced in handling delicate, stretchy metallic knits to adjust the hem.
