FAQs
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress sits at approximately 150cm in length.
Is the dress suitable for outdoor events?
Yes, the stretch fabrication is durable, but avoid wearing it in extreme weather conditions that could cause snagging or heavy soiling.
Does the dress have a zipper?
The construction includes refined seam detailing; please check the side or back for the concealed zip closure typical of Karen Millen midi dresses.
Can I alter the hem if it is too long?
It is recommended to take the dress to a professional tailor who specializes in structured or evening wear to ensure the fishtail hem proportions are maintained.
What type of shoes pair best with this style?
Given the midi length and fishtail flare, strappy heels or pointed-toe pumps are highly recommended to elongate the leg.
How should I handle minor stains?
Avoid rubbing the fabric. Blot gently with a clean, dry white cloth and take the garment to a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing slightly wrinkled after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle at least six inches away from the fabric to gently release creases.
Visible lines under the fabric
Switch to seamless, laser-cut undergarments in a neutral tone to ensure the bodice remains sleek.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the architectural integrity of this garment, store it on a high-quality, padded hanger to prevent misshaping at the shoulders. Because of the tailored fit and seam construction, ensure you choose undergarments that provide a smooth line, as the fabric is designed to sit closely against the body. When it comes to care, do not attempt to machine wash the dress, as the stretch-infused fibres and delicate lining require professional dry cleaning to avoid shrinkage or fabric fatigue. Always check the internal garment label for specific temperature and chemical instructions provided by the manufacturer.
