Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Military Trim Rib Knit Collared Maxi Dress is designed for the modern woman seeking a sophisticated, structured silhouette that transitions effortlessly between garden parties and evening cocktail events. Its key benefit lies in the seamless blend of a sleek, body-hugging rib knit with distinctive military-inspired details like contrast-trimmed chest pockets and a decorative button placket. While the dress offers a refined, tailored appearance, the high-quality zinc-based material and textured knit construction require careful handling to maintain the garment's integrity and shape over time.

FAQs

Is the fabric heavy?

The dress is made from a ribbed knit that offers a balance between structure and comfort; it is substantial enough to hold its shape without being overly heavy.

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the close-fitting rib knit, seamless, skin-toned undergarments are recommended for the most polished look.

Can I wear this in the winter?

The dress is versatile, but since it features short sleeves, you may want to layer it with a tailored blazer or long coat for colder weather.

Does the button placket function?

The buttons are primarily decorative, contributing to the structured, military-inspired design of the piece.

How do I choose the right size?

The rib knit is designed for a close fit. If you prefer a slightly less form-fitting look, you may want to compare your measurements against the standard sizing for this brand.

Troubleshooting

Minor snag in the rib knit

Use a specialized knit needle to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the garment.

Loss of structure after washing

Lay the garment flat on a clean towel to dry completely; avoid hanging while wet to prevent sagging caused by water weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your dress looking its best, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Fold the dress flat or use a padded hanger to prevent the rib knit from stretching out of shape.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the delicate zinc-based rib knit, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the texture and structure.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer if needed, being careful not to apply direct pressure to the button placket or military trim.
  4. Compatibility: Pairs exceptionally well with sleek, minimalist heels or ankle boots to complement the sophisticated aesthetic of the fishtail hem.
