Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen Textured Tailored Twill Bandeau Top in Blue, size UK 14, is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and architectural piece for formal events. Its key benefit lies in its sculpted silhouette, featuring a Bardot neckline and peplum hem for a refined, feminine look. A potential caveat is its structured fit, which may require careful consideration for comfort during extended wear. The top boasts a distinctive peplum hem, a Bardot off-the-shoulder neckline with a folded overlay, and a textured twill fabric for visual depth. It also includes a structured, corseted-style bodice for a tailored finish and is lined for comfort and shape retention.

Troubleshooting
Top feels too tight in the bodice
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too restrictive, consider pairing with looser-fitting bottoms or seeking alterations for a customized fit.
Off-the-shoulder neckline slips down
Ensure the structured bodice is sitting correctly. If the issue persists, consider using fashion tape or a strapless bra with supportive sides to help keep the top in place.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the garment to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, applying minimal pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and press carefully, ideally on the reverse side of the fabric.
