The Karen Millen Tailored Satin Drape Asymmetric Maxi Fishtail Dress is designed for women seeking a sophisticated, architectural silhouette for black-tie events, galas, and formal evening weddings. Its primary benefit is a self-styling design where the sculpted shoulder and ruched waist eliminate the need for heavy accessories. A key caveat is the 135cm floor-length hem, which requires careful management to avoid tripping and typically demands heeled footwear.

While the design is formal, the long fishtail hem is best suited for smooth indoor surfaces to prevent staining or snagging the delicate satin fabric outdoors.
This garment must be professionally dry cleaned to preserve the satin finish and the structured shape of the bodice.
No, the dress does not feature a built-in bra. It is designed to be worn with seamless or adhesive undergarments for the cleanest line.
The dress measures approximately 135cm in length.
Ironing is not recommended as it can damage the satin. Steaming is the preferred method for removing wrinkles.
The viscose blend is chosen for its weighted drape, designed to skim the body's silhouette rather than cling to it.
Use a handheld steamer on a low heat setting, keeping it several inches away from the fabric to gently release the wrinkles.
Do not pull the thread. Gently manipulate the fabric surrounding the snag to ease the thread back into place, or consult a professional tailor.
If the length exceeds your comfort level, have the dress professionally hemmed by a tailor who specializes in formal gowns to maintain the original fishtail proportions.
