FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, formal dinners, or any occasion where a sophisticated and elegant outfit is required.

What is the typical length of a midi dress?

A midi dress typically falls between the knee and the ankle. The exact length can vary slightly based on the designer and the wearer's height.

How should I care for the colour block design?

To preserve the colour block design, it is recommended to dry clean the dress. Avoid washing with harsh detergents or bleach, which can affect the distinct colours.

Is this dress suitable for warmer weather?

The suitability for warmer weather depends on the fabric composition. Generally, a tailored dress like this can be comfortable, but lighter fabrics might be preferred for very high temperatures.

Can the bow detail be removed?

The bow is likely a fixed design element and not intended for removal. Attempting to remove it could damage the dress.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Seamless undergarments in a neutral colour are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Depending on the dress's lining and fabric opacity, a slip might also be considered.

Does this dress run true to size?

Karen Millen generally offers true-to-size fits, but it's always advisable to consult the specific size chart provided and consider reviews if available, especially for petite sizing.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected

As this is a petite fit, ensure it was purchased specifically for your height. Refer to the size guide for precise measurements. If the fit is still off, consider professional tailoring or exchange for a different size/style.

Creasing after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting. Alternatively, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side as per care instructions.

Bow detail becomes misshapen

Gently reshape the bow by hand. Avoid excessive pressure or ironing directly on the bow. If severely creased, consult professional dry cleaning instructions.
