Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Figure Form Bandage Tassel Hem Knitted Dress is designed for the woman seeking a sophisticated, sculptural piece for black-tie events, weddings, or formal evening occasions. Its standout benefit is the combination of a body-contouring bandage bodice and a dramatic, movement-heavy tassel fringe hem that creates a show-stopping silhouette. Please note that the intricate fringe detailing requires careful handling during wear and storage to avoid tangling or snags.

FAQs

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the bandage-style, form-fitting construction, seamless or shapewear undergarments are recommended for a smooth finish.

How do I prevent the fringe from fraying?

Always hang the dress carefully and avoid sitting on rough or textured surfaces that might pull at the fringe fibers.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is the safest way to maintain the shape of the bandage bodice and the texture of the tassels.

Does the fabric stretch over time?

The high-quality polyester knit is designed for retention, but it is best to avoid over-stretching when putting the garment on or taking it off.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?

Yes, provided the ground is stable. Be mindful of the length and the fringe on grass or uneven terrain to prevent debris from catching in the tassels.

What is the dress length?

This piece is a midi length with an approximate 140cm drop from the shoulder, designed to hit at a refined point on the leg.

Troubleshooting

Tassels are tangled after storage

Lay the garment flat on a clean surface and gently comb through the fringe with your fingers from the top down to release knots.

Visible snag in the knit bodice

Use a specialized knit-fix tool or a blunt needle to gently pull the snagged loop back through to the inside of the garment; do not cut the thread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural bandage bodice provides a slimming, high-end look
  • Tassel hem creates unique visual interest and movement
  • Stretch material offers a balance between structure and mobility
  • Versatile for various formal occasions, including weddings and cocktail parties

Cons

  • Tassel fringe requires extra care to prevent knotting
  • Requires specific dry cleaning or delicate hand washing due to construction
  • The close-fit bandage style is highly form-fitting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it hanging in a cool, dry place, ensuring the tassels are straightened out rather than bunched. Given the delicate nature of the fringe, avoid hanging it near jewelry or accessories that could catch and pull the threads. For maintenance, check the manufacturer garment label; as a polyester-based knit, it is generally recommended to use professional dry cleaning services to protect both the tension of the bandage bodice and the integrity of the tassels. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-heat drying methods, as these may damage the stretch fibers.
