Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Tafetta Ruffle Bardot Jumpsuit in Navy, size 14, is designed for women seeking a sophisticated and impactful alternative to traditional dresses for formal events, weddings, or special occasions. Its key benefit lies in its dramatic yet refined silhouette, featuring a sculptural taffeta ruffle and flattering wide-leg cropped trousers. A potential caveat is its specific sizing and the need for heels to achieve the intended cropped hemline.

Troubleshooting

Jumpsuit length incorrect when wearing flats.

The jumpsuit is designed with a cropped leg and is intended to be worn with heels. For a longer look with flats, consider custom tailoring or selecting a different style.

Ruffle appears too stiff or flat.

Gently steam the ruffle, ensuring the iron or steamer does not directly touch the fabric. Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow the fabric to relax.

Color transfer to other garments.

Always follow the care instructions. If hand washing, use cold water and wash separately. Test a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about colorfastness.
