FAQs
What type of fabric is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a woven fabric with stretch, designed to provide both structure and comfort.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, formal receptions, and other special occasions where a statement piece is desired.
How should I clean the dress?
Due to the delicate crystal embellishments, the dress should be dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or using harsh cleaning agents.
Does the dress come in other colors or sizes?
This particular listing is for the Rose color in size 16. Please check available listings for other sizes and potential color variations offered by Karen Millen.
Can the crystal embellishments be damaged easily?
While designed to be durable for occasion wear, the embellishments require careful handling. Avoid snagging the dress on rough surfaces and follow care instructions to maintain their appearance.
What type of undergarments are recommended?
Given the plunge neckline and fitted silhouette, seamless undergarments are recommended. Consider a plunge bra or a form-fitting slip for a smooth appearance.
Troubleshooting
Crystals appear loose or detached
Carefully inspect the embellishment areas. If a few crystals are loose, they may be re-secured by a professional seamstress using fabric glue or careful stitching. Avoid attempting to re-attach them yourself with strong adhesives, which could damage the fabric.
Dress feels tight or uncomfortable after wear
The woven fabric has some stretch, but the fitted nature requires an accurate size. If discomfort is due to the fit, consider having the dress professionally altered by a tailor experienced with formal wear for a precise fit.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow the steam to relax minor creases. For stubborn wrinkles, use a low-heat iron on the reverse side of the fabric, or opt for professional garment steaming.
