FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, galas, evening events, and sophisticated parties. It can also be styled for elegant garden parties.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, which provides a smooth drape and is fully lined for comfort.

How should I care for this dress?

Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's quality and the integrity of the waterfall sleeves. Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side if necessary.

How do the waterfall sleeves add to the design?

The waterfall sleeves are a key design feature that creates dramatic, graceful movement and adds a sophisticated, elegant silhouette to the dress.

Is the dress lined?

Yes, the dress is fully lined for comfort and to ensure a smooth, flattering drape.

What size should I order?

Please refer to the Karen Millen sizing guide and compare it with your measurements. This dress is available in UK sizes 6 to 14.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

While the polyester fabric drapes beautifully, it may not be as breathable as natural fibers in very high temperatures. It is best suited for moderate to cool formal events or when paired with appropriate accessories for warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels stiff or loses its drape

Ensure the dress is being dry cleaned according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh washing methods that can affect the polyester fabric.

Waterfall sleeves are creased or misshapen

Gently steam the sleeves on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom. If ironing, use a low heat on the reverse side, protecting the fabric.

Fit is not as expected

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and compare it with your body measurements. Consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed for a perfect fit.

V-neckline gapes

A small stitch or fashion tape can be used discreetly to secure the V-neckline for a more modest or secure fit. Ensure the shoulders are sitting correctly.
