FAQs
Is the dress suitable for tall individuals?
The dress has a length of approximately 124cm. It is considered a maxi length, but fit can vary based on your personal height and preference for where it hits on the leg.
Does the bodice slip down during movement?
The bodice is designed with a closer-knit, structured construction to help it stay securely in place, but it is best suited for standard social activities.
Can I wear a necklace with this dress?
While the Bardot neckline is perfect for showing off jewelry, be mindful of necklaces with sharp edges or intricate clasps that could snag the knit fabric.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
A strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the Bardot neckline.
Is this fabric machine washable?
Due to the delicate nature of the knit, we strongly recommend a delicate, low-temperature cycle with the dress placed inside a mesh garment bag to prevent friction.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagged by jewelry
Do not pull on the loose thread. Use a fine needle to gently guide the loop back into the reverse side of the knit fabric.
Dress appears stretched after hanging
Lay the dress flat to dry and gently reshape it to its original dimensions before it completely sets. Avoid using vertical hangers for long-term storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen knit dress remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential:
- Handling: Avoid contact with sharp objects, heavy jewelry, or rough surfaces that could pull the knit threads.
- Cleaning: Given the dual-knit composition, always consult the internal care label. Gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag is typically recommended to preserve the shape.
- Drying: Avoid hanging the dress on thin wire hangers, as the weight of the maxi skirt can cause the knit to stretch and lose its shape. Instead, dry the garment flat on a clean surface.
- Storage: Fold the dress neatly in a drawer or store it folded over the padded bar of a hanger to prevent unwanted stretching.
