FAQs

What is Tencel fabric?

Tencel, also known as Lyocell, is a cellulose fiber derived from wood pulp. It is known for its softness, breathability, and fluid drape, making it a sustainable and luxurious fabric choice.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Karen Millen size guide for accurate measurements. Pay attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements, as well as the UK dress size specified.

Can this dress be worn in different seasons?

Yes, the dress is versatile. It can be worn on its own in warmer weather and layered with blazers, cardigans, or lightweight coats during cooler seasons.

Is the dress part of a larger set?

Yes, the description indicates it is part of a sophisticated two-piece set, offering potential for complementary styling.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Given the fluid fabric and maxi length, seamless undergarments in a neutral colour are generally recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette.

How should I care for the colour block design?

To preserve the integrity of the colour block design, wash inside out in cold water and avoid harsh detergents or prolonged soaking.

Can the belt be removed?

The belt is designed to define the waist, and while it can typically be untied and removed or repositioned, its primary function is to cinch the dress.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing

Iron on a low heat setting while damp, or use a pressing cloth. Ensure proper drying techniques are followed.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

Ensure you are using a mild detergent. Excessive heat during drying can sometimes cause stiffness; try air drying instead.

Colour bleeding during washing

Always wash dark or vibrant colours separately, especially for the first few washes. Use cold water for washing.

Belt does not stay tied

Ensure the belt fabric is not excessively smooth or slippery. If it persists, a small, discreet safety pin can be used to secure the knot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for immediate wear. As a dress, it requires no assembly or setup.

Care Instructions:

  • Material: The dress is made from Tencel woven fabric. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions.
  • Washing: Typically, Tencel is best cared for by hand washing in cold water or using a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying: It is recommended to lay the dress flat to dry or hang it on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying, as it can damage the fabric fibers.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hung to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
