Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen maxi dress is designed for adult females seeking a sophisticated and modern ensemble for formal occasions. Its key benefit lies in its striking architectural design, featuring a one-shoulder neckline and dramatic cape detail for a contemporary silhouette. A potential caveat is that its figure-enhancing bandage knit construction might require specific care to maintain its shape. The dress combines a figure-sculpting bandage knit with a flowing woven cape, creating a streamlined, floor-sweeping maxi length with an elegant side split.

Can this dress be machine washed?

Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight after washing
Bandage knit can sometimes appear to shrink if not handled carefully during washing. Gently stretch the fabric back to its original shape while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid excessive heat during drying.
Cape detail is creased
Gently steam the woven cape on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the fabric. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
Snags or pulls in the fabric
For minor snags, try to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. For more significant damage, professional tailoring or repair may be necessary.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the delicate bandage knit and woven cape, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Lay the dress flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can distort the shape. Avoid direct sunlight.
