Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Maxi Dress in Yellow, size 16, is designed for adult females seeking a show-stopping garment for formal occasions like weddings and galas. Its key benefit is creating a dramatic and sophisticated silhouette with a cape-style overlay and cross-front bodice. A potential consideration is that the lightweight georgette fabric may require careful handling and specific care. Key features include a striking halterneck, a flowing georgette fabric with a crinkle texture, a statement cape overlay, an open back design, and a floor-sweeping maxi length.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival

Gently hang the dress and allow it to air out. If creases persist, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct heat or steam.

Fabric snag or pull

For minor snags, try gently pulling the fabric back into place. For more significant damage, professional repair may be necessary. Avoid contact with rough surfaces.

Fit issues with bodice or length

Consult a professional tailor for alterations. This dress is designed for a specific drape, so alterations should be done by an experienced seamstress.

Cape overlay not laying correctly

Ensure the dress is fastened correctly. The cape's drape is inherent to its design; check that it is not twisted or caught on anything.
