Full details
This Karen Millen Colour Block Rib Knitted Maxi Dress is designed for the adult female seeking refined contemporary style. Its key benefit is the striking colour block design that creates a slimming vertical silhouette, complemented by a ribbed knit texture for dimension. A potential caveat is that the fitted bodice might require careful consideration for different body types. Key features include elegant elbow-length sleeves, a versatile midi-maxi length, a viscose blend for comfort and structure, and contrasting vertical panels that elongate the figure.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears stretched or misshapen after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, using cold water and a gentle cycle. Avoid tumble drying and opt for laying the dress flat to dry.
Ribbing texture appears inconsistent.
This can sometimes occur with natural variations in knitwear. Gentle steaming or careful pressing on a low heat setting might help even out the texture. Ensure the dress is dry before attempting to steam.
Colour bleeding during washing.
Wash dark and light colours separately, even if they appear similar. Use a colour catcher sheet during the first few washes to absorb any excess dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a dress, and as such, it requires no setup. It is designed for adult women and is compatible with standard women's apparel sizing. For care, it is recommended to follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label, which typically involves gentle washing methods suitable for wool blends to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. Hand washing or a delicate machine cycle with cold water and a wool-specific detergent is often advised. Avoid high heat when drying, and preferably dry flat to prevent stretching. Ironing should be done on a low setting if necessary.
