Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Figure Form Bandage Tassel Hem Knitted Dress is designed for the fashion-forward woman seeking a sophisticated, sculptural look for black-tie events, weddings, or high-end cocktail evenings. Its primary benefit is the combination of a precision-tailored bandage bodice that creates a flattering, body-conscious silhouette and a dramatic, movement-focused tassel hem. A key caveat to note is that the stretch-knit construction requires careful storage to maintain its shape, and the detailed tassel hem may require extra attention during cleaning and travel to prevent tangling.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the fabric prone to losing its shape?

The stretch-infused knit is designed to retain its form, but it should be stored flat or on a padded hanger to avoid long-term stretching.

What kind of undergarments work best?

Due to the close, body-conscious fit of the bandage style, seamless or laser-cut undergarments are recommended for a smooth finish.

Can I wear this dress to an outdoor event?

Yes, but be mindful of the fringe hem, which may pick up debris or snag on rough surfaces like gravel or wooden decking.

How do I maintain the fringe during storage?

Ensure the dress is hung straight in a garment bag with enough room so the tassels do not get pressed or folded against the sides.

Does the dress run true to size?

The dress is designed for a body-conscious fit. If you prefer a slightly less structured feel, consider how the bandage knit fits your specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Tassels are tangled or knotted

Gently shake the dress to let gravity help align the strands, then use your fingers to carefully detangle rather than using a brush or comb.

Fabric has minor snags

Do not pull on the thread. Use a needle to gently push the snag back through to the inside of the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the delicate nature of the tassel hem and the structural bandage knit, proper care is essential to extending the life of the dress. Always hang the garment using high-quality hangers to prevent the knit from stretching out of shape. Given the material, it is recommended to avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp jewellery that could pull at the knit threads. When traveling, store the dress flat or in a garment bag, ensuring the tassels are smoothed out to prevent permanent creasing or tangling. Always check the interior garment label for specific laundering instructions, as professional dry cleaning is often the safest route for maintaining the integrity of both the bandage structure and the decorative fringe.
