The Karen Millen Off The Shoulder Midi Dress is designed for the modern woman seeking a sophisticated, formal option for black-tie events or winter weddings. Crafted from a rich, light-absorbing velvet, this piece offers a striking architectural silhouette that manages to be both dramatic and understated. While the viscose-rich fabric provides a luxurious drape and cool handfeel, potential owners should note that the dense velvet material requires careful handling and specialized cleaning to maintain its deep luster and shape over time.

No, this garment is made of a premium velvet fabric that requires professional dry cleaning to maintain its luster and texture.
The dress is a midi length, measuring approximately 143cm.
The viscose-rich fabric is designed to skim the body and offers a soft drape, but it is not a high-stretch knit, so it is meant to hold a specific architectural shape.
Because of the off-the-shoulder neckline, a strapless or multi-way bra is recommended to keep the shoulder area clean and unobstructed.
While the fabric has a cool handfeel, the velvet material is traditionally suited for formal evening events or cooler-weather seasons like autumn and winter.
Gently steam the garment from the reverse side or hang it in a steamy room to allow the fibers to relax; do not iron directly on the velvet surface.
Ensure the shoulder is seated properly; use fashion tape if additional security is needed to prevent shifting.
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or creases in the velvet pile. Due to the velvet composition, avoid folding the dress for long periods, as this can leave permanent marks on the surface. We highly recommend professional dry cleaning for this garment to preserve the texture and lining. When dressing, avoid heavy jewelry that could snag the delicate velvet fibers. Because the dress is fully lined, it offers a consistent fit across various settings, provided you ensure the neckline is positioned correctly upon putting it on to maintain the intended architectural silhouette.
