Full details

This Karen Millen Asymmetric Strap Top is designed for the fashion-conscious adult female seeking a striking and sophisticated piece for evening wear or formal occasions. Its key benefit is the flattering, body-contouring fit provided by the bandage knit construction and unique asymmetric strap design.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What occasions is this top best suited for?

This top is ideal for formal events, evening parties, cocktail gatherings, and sophisticated dinner dates due to its striking design and figure-contouring fit.

How does the bandage knit fabric feel?

The bandage knit is designed to be body-contouring and supportive, offering a snug yet comfortable fit that sculpts the silhouette.

Can I wear this top for casual outings?

While versatile, the top's strong design makes it best suited for dressier occasions. It can be styled down with smart trousers or a skirt for a chic lunch, but is generally not intended for very casual wear.

What type of bra should I wear with this top?

Depending on the asymmetry, a strapless bra, adhesive bra, or a specially designed undergarment might be suitable. The halterneck style may offer some support on its own.

How do I care for the wool blend material?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water or dry clean. Always lay the garment flat to dry to maintain its shape and prevent stretching.

Is the length suitable for tucking into bottoms?

The 36cm length is generally suitable for pairing with high-waisted bottoms, allowing for a neat appearance whether tucked or worn over the waistband.

Does this top come in other colors?

This specific product is listed in Black/White. Please check other listings for available color variations.

Troubleshooting

Top feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Due to the slim and bandage fit, consider the next size up if you prefer a more relaxed feel or are between sizes.

Fabric appears stretched after wearing.

This is characteristic of bandage knit, which is designed to mold to the body. Ensure proper care by laying flat to dry and avoiding excessive stretching when trying on or wearing.

Care label instructions are unclear.

Always refer to the specific care label sewn into the garment. General recommendations for wool/knit blends include hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning, and laying flat to dry.
