FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for corporate events, business luncheons, professional meetings, and evening occasions where a sophisticated and commanding presence is desired.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the Karen Millen size guide provided. The bandage fabric offers a sculpted fit, so precise measurements are recommended. If you are between sizes, consider the desired fit and fabric's stretch.

Can the front zip be opened completely?

The dress features a full-length front zip, which is intended for design and ease of wear. It can be zipped up or down to the desired level.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the body-contouring fit of the bandage fabric, seamless undergarments are generally recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette.

How do I care for the PU tipped detailing?

Gently wipe the PU tipped areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the material.

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

The structured bandage fabric is designed to sculpt and contour. While it flatters many figures, individuals who prefer looser fits might find it restrictive. It's advisable to try it on if possible.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, featuring a structured bandage fabric construction.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage fabric is designed for a close fit; consider wearing seamless undergarments. If the fit is significantly off, check the size guide or consider alternative styles if comfort is paramount.

PU tipping or gold buttons appear dull.

For PU tipping, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe clean. For gold-tone buttons, gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Fabric loses its structure after cleaning.

Adhere strictly to the 'dry clean only' instruction. Improper washing or drying can compromise the fabric's integrity. Ensure professional dry cleaning is performed.
