Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Taffeta Bardot Figure Form Maxi Dress is an elegant choice for women seeking a sophisticated, sculptural look for black-tie events, weddings, or high-end evening functions. Its defining features include a dramatic draped taffeta overlay and an architectural Bardot neckline, which provide a striking, modern silhouette. While it offers a refined and form-defining fit thanks to its stretch-infused skirt, potential buyers should note that the structured nature of the taffeta requires careful storage to maintain its shape and finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the length of this dress?

This dress features a midi length of approximately 112.5cm.

Can I machine wash this garment?

No, given the delicate taffeta fabric and hardware embellishment, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The skirt portion is made with stretch-infused fabrication for comfort, while the taffeta bodice is structured for a sculptural look.

What type of bra should I wear with this?

A high-quality strapless or convertible bra is best to maintain the clean lines of the Bardot neckline.

What material is this dress made of?

The dress is primarily constructed from polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold structural shapes.

Troubleshooting

Taffeta overlay has developed minor creases.

Use a professional garment steamer on a very low setting, keeping distance from the fabric, or take it to a professional dry cleaner for steaming.

The Bardot neckline feels loose or slips.

Ensure the bodice is snug and properly centered; if movement occurs, use fashion tape on the interior edge to secure the fabric to your skin.

  • High-quality, sculptural taffeta construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Given the specialized taffeta and hardware, dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the structural integrity of the bodice and the finish of the embellishments. When storing the garment, use a wide, padded hanger to prevent the taffeta from creasing and avoid crowding the dress in a closet, as the fabric requires space to maintain its shape. Ensure the hardware piece is kept dry and free from perfume or lotions to prevent tarnishing. For the best fit, check the brand’s sizing chart relative to a UK 14, as the figure-form nature of the skirt is designed to be worn close to the body.
