What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a stretch-infused polyester knit fabric.

How should I care for the tassel fringe?

The tassel fringe requires careful handling. Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Avoid excessive heat or pulling on the fringe threads.

What is the approximate length of the dress?

The midi-to-maxi length is approximately 95.5 cm.

Does the dress come in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for the Teal dress in Size 18. Karen Millen often offers designs in various colors and sizes; please check other listings for availability.

Can this dress be altered?

Minor alterations might be possible, but extensive changes to the bandage-knit construction or fringe detail should be undertaken by a skilled tailor experienced with such fabrics and designs.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the fitted nature and seam detailing, seamless undergarments are recommended. The square neckline can accommodate various bra styles, or a strapless option if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive.

The dress is designed for a close, body-conscious fit due to its bandage-knit construction. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, the stretch-infused fabric offers some flexibility. If significantly uncomfortable, consider an alternative style.

Tassel fringe is tangled or damaged.

Carefully detangle individual threads with your fingers. Avoid using sharp objects. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or a specialist dry cleaner experienced with delicate embellishments.

Seam detailing appears strained.

Ensure the dress is not overstretched. The visible seam detailing is part of the design's structure; significant strain may indicate the size is too small or the garment has been subjected to undue stress.
