Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Ruffle Detail Sleeveless Midi Dress is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a sophisticated, architectural silhouette for formal events like weddings, garden parties, or graduation ceremonies. Its key benefit lies in the masterful combination of a soft, draped cowl neckline and a bold, cascading asymmetric ruffle that adds dynamic movement to the wearer's figure. While the satin material offers a luxurious look and feel, it requires careful handling and specialized cleaning to maintain its finish and structural integrity.

Fabric snagging or pulled threads
Avoid wearing sharp jewelry near the dress and have it professionally repaired if a snag occurs; do not attempt to cut threads yourself.
