Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen woven viscose maxi dress is designed for the modern woman seeking an elegant and striking outfit for formal occasions. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated tonal stripe jacquard-effect fabric and refined silhouette, creating a polished yet dramatic look. A potential caveat is its floor-grazing length, which may require heels for optimal styling. Key features include a high halter neckline, an open back, bias-cut construction for a flattering fit, and a sweeping flared hem.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is worn with appropriate undergarments and consider the bias-cut nature which relies on gravity for its drape. Wearing heels can also influence the hang.

Fabric appears creased

Gently iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth, or allow it to hang in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Stripe pattern looks uneven

This is characteristic of a jacquard weave; the tonal effect creates depth and is designed to catch the light subtly. Ensure the garment is smoothed out.
