Designed for formal occasions like black-tie dinners, winter weddings, and galas, the Karen Millen Off The Shoulder Midi Dress offers a sophisticated, architectural silhouette for the modern woman. Featuring a rich, viscose-rich velvet fabric and a unique twisted knot detail at the bust, it provides an elegant, comfortable fit that moves gracefully with the wearer. The primary caveat to note is that the material is a rich, light-absorbing velvet that requires specific care to maintain its depth of pile and prevent dust or lint accumulation.

No, the twisted knot detail at the bust is designed to be the focal point of the dress, and it is best styled without a necklace.
A pointed court heel is recommended, as it complements the floor-sweeping hem and keeps the silhouette streamlined.
Yes, it is proportioned specifically for a petite frame with a 138cm length, meant to fall at the correct length without needing alterations.
No, the viscose-rich velvet requires professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric quality and drape.
The material is chosen for its ability to hold shape, but like all velvet, it is designed to resist heavy creasing during movement.
A sleek, tailored coat worn over the shoulders is ideal for maintaining the elegant lines of the dress while providing warmth.
Use a soft, clean clothes brush in the direction of the pile to gently remove debris.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom (away from direct water) or use a professional garment steamer from a safe distance to lift the fibers.
The viscose-rich blend naturally relaxes; simply hang the dress on a padded hanger for a few hours before wear.
To keep your dress in pristine condition, avoid contact with heavy perfumes or body oils that may mark the velvet fibers. When travelling to an event, carry the dress in a garment bag to avoid crushing the pile. Regarding compatibility, this dress is best worn with seamless undergarments due to the bias-cut fabric which skims the body closely. Since the piece is made from premium velvet, it should not be machine washed. We recommend using a professional dry cleaning service that has experience handling velvet to ensure the pile remains lush and the shape is preserved. Use a soft clothes brush periodically to remove any lint or surface dust.
