Product Information

Full details

This elegant rib knit midi dress by Karen Millen is designed for the modern woman seeking versatile day-to-evening wear. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated textural contrast between the body and the voluminous chiffon sleeves, offering a polished yet comfortable silhouette. A potential consideration is the button-up front's customizability, which may require adjustment for a perfectly tailored fit. Key features include a rib-knit construction, contrasting chiffon sleeves, a button-up front with decorative gold-tone buttons, a flattering midi length, and a subtle front split.

FAQs

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart, usually available on the product page or the brand's website. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart.

Can the button-up front be worn open?

Yes, the button-up front is designed for customisable styling and can be worn fully fastened, partially open, or fully open over other garments as a layering piece.

What type of material are the sleeves made from?

The sleeves are made from chiffon, which is a lightweight, sheer fabric that provides a delicate and elegant contrast to the rib-knit body of the dress.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

Yes, with the right accessories such as statement jewelry and heels, this dress can be styled for semi-formal or dressy evening events.

How should I care for the chiffon sleeves?

The chiffon sleeves require gentle care. Hand washing or a delicate machine cycle is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct high heat when drying or ironing.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, meaning it typically falls below the knee and above the ankle, offering a versatile and elegant silhouette.

Does the rib knit fabric stretch?

Yes, the rib knit construction, combined with the viscose blend, allows for some stretch, providing comfort and a flattering fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is properly hung on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and sleeves. Check that all buttons are fastened or unfastened according to the desired fit.

Chiffon sleeves appear creased

Gently steam the chiffon sleeves on a low setting, keeping the iron a safe distance away. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you have used a mild detergent and a cool water wash. Laying the garment flat to dry can help maintain fabric softness. A low tumble dry with a fabric softener sheet might help, but check the care label first.
