FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for elevated daywear occasions, such as summer garden parties, smart-casual lunches, rooftop events, or sophisticated social gatherings where a refined aesthetic is desired.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing guide for Karen Millen. Given the close fit and stretch, consider your measurements for both the bodice and the hip area, as the defined waistband connects these.

Can this dress be worn in colder weather?

Yes, the sleeveless design makes it suitable for layering. A fine-knit longline cardigan or a tailored blazer can be worn over the dress to transition it into cooler months or for evening wear.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the knit and eyelet details, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Consider a nude or matching color bra.

How do I care for the eyelet detailing?

The eyelet detailing is part of the knit construction. Handle with care to avoid snagging or stretching these open areas. Follow the general care instructions for delicate knits.

Is the dress lined?

The product description does not specify lining, but typically dresses of this knit construction may not be fully lined, relying on the density of the knit and the layering of eyelets for coverage.

What is the return policy for this item?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returning or exchanging this item.

Troubleshooting

Dress snagged or pulled thread

Carefully try to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the fabric using a fine needle. If the snag is significant, professional mending may be required.

Loss of shape after washing

Ensure the dress was laid flat to dry, as recommended. Gently reshape the garment while it is damp. If significant shape loss has occurred, professional reshaping or a slight steam might help.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you have used a mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly. A very small amount of fabric conditioner suitable for knits can be used in the final rinse, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Handle with Care: Always handle the dress away from jewellery and rough surfaces to prevent snags and damage to the delicate knit.
  • Washing: Due to the intricate knit and fabric blend, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  • Drying: Lay the dress flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping it gently while damp. Avoid tumble drying.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth, or use a steamer to remove creases.
