Midaxi is a hybrid length that falls between a midi (mid-calf) and a maxi (ankle length), typically landing at the lower calf or just above the ankle.
The dress is designed with a structured fit typical of Karen Millen sizing. It is recommended to check the specific UK size measurements provided by the brand for the best fit.
No, due to the velvet material and taffeta components, this dress must be dry cleaned to avoid damage to the fabric texture and structure.
The taffeta bow straps are integrated into the design. They are not designed for adjustment, so ensure the bodice fit is comfortable upon purchase.
A high-quality, supportive strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the bardot neckline.
Use a soft-bristled velvet brush or a specialized lint roller designed for delicate fabrics, working with the grain of the velvet.
Use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance, ensuring you do not touch the fabric directly, or consult a professional cleaner for steam pressing.
Given the combination of velvet and taffeta, this garment is strictly for dry cleaning only. Avoid ironing directly on the velvet pile, as this can cause permanent crushing or matting. Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent the taffeta bows from creasing and to protect the velvet from dust accumulation. When choosing undergarments, opt for strapless or multi-way options to ensure they remain hidden beneath the bardot neckline.
