Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Military Trim Rib Knit Collared Maxi Dress is designed for the modern woman who appreciates a sophisticated, body-conscious silhouette that seamlessly transitions from daytime garden events to formal evening occasions. This piece offers the distinct benefit of military-inspired structure combined with a soft, rib-knit drape, providing a polished look without sacrificing comfort. Note that while the fabric is designed to skim the body, the fitted torso and flared hem require careful attention to size selection to ensure the perfect drape at the mid-calf.

FAQs

What size should I choose?

The dress is designed as a body-conscious fit. If you prefer a slightly more relaxed feel through the torso, you may consider checking our size guide against your measurements.

Can this dress be machine washed?

We recommend dry cleaning this piece to ensure the metallic hardware remains pristine and the rib knit maintains its shape.

What is the length of the dress?

It is a maxi-style dress designed to hit at the mid-calf, depending on your height.

Is the fabric heavy?

No, the rib knit is selected for its cool handfeel and soft drape, making it breathable while providing enough structure to skim the body.

Does the dress have pockets?

The dress features two chest patch pockets for aesthetic detail.

Troubleshooting

Knit fabric appears slightly stretched after wearing

Lay the garment flat on a clean surface after cleaning to allow the fibers to regain their original structure.

Gold buttons seem loose or dull

Gently buff the buttons with a dry microfiber cloth; if a button is loose, contact a professional tailor to reinforce the stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen garment in optimal condition, handle it with care due to the metallic button details.

  1. Storage: Fold the dress or use a padded hanger to prevent the rib knit from stretching at the shoulders.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the knit and gold-tone hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's drape and the buttons' luster.
  3. Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with metallic jewelry and neutral-toned heels. Avoid wearing sharp accessories that may snag the fine rib-knit weave.
