The Karen Millen Bandage Knit Contrast Cross Front Dress is designed for the modern woman seeking a sophisticated, sculptural look for formal occasions such as weddings, galas, or graduation ceremonies. Its primary benefit is the specialized bandage knit construction, which offers a body-skimming, structured fit that maintains its shape while allowing for movement. One caveat is that the close-fitting nature of the bandage knit requires careful sizing selection to ensure both comfort and the intended architectural silhouette.

This dress is crafted from high-quality polyester designed into a bandage knit construction for durability and structure.
The midi length of this dress is approximately 121cm, falling at a sophisticated point on the leg.
Yes, the dress features a fully open back, contributing to its bold and modern design aesthetic.
Due to the delicate bandage knit construction and contrast binding, hand-washing or professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's structure.
Given the open-back and cross-front design, a stick-on backless bra or silicone covers are recommended for the most seamless appearance.
The bandage knit provides a firm, body-skimming fit with moderate stretch intended to provide structure rather than loose comfort.
The dress may be one size too small; check sizing chart measurements to ensure a proper fit that allows the bandage fabric to lay flat.
Steam the garment lightly on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom to allow the fibers to relax and return to their original shape.
Because of the sculptural nature of the bandage knit, ensure you choose the correct UK size for a snug but comfortable fit. The dress is made from polyester, which is durable, but the bandage knit construction requires specific care to prevent loss of elasticity. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Typically, garments of this material should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned to preserve the integrity of the binding and the stretch of the knit. Avoid hanging the dress on thin wire hangers for long periods, as this may distort the shoulders; instead, store it folded or on a contoured, padded hanger.
