FAQs
What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings (as a guest or member of the wedding party), black-tie galas, charity events, and sophisticated evening gatherings.
How should I accessorize this dress?
Keep accessories understated to let the dress shine. Opt for strappy heeled sandals, a structured clutch bag, and simple jewelry like drop earrings. A sleek updo hairstyle complements the open back beautifully.
What is the approximate length of the dress?
The dress has a floor-grazing maxi length of approximately 138cm.
Can this dress be altered?
Minor alterations to the length or straps may be possible by a professional tailor experienced with delicate fabrics and embroidery. Significant alterations to the bodice's cutwork may compromise the design.
What is the best way to store this dress?
Store the dress in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and light. Ensure it is hung on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture.
Does the dress run true to size?
Refer to the specific size chart provided by Karen Millen for accurate measurements. It is recommended to check the UK size 10 measurements against your own for the best fit, especially for the fitted bodice.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a woven wool material.
Troubleshooting
Embroidery snagged
Carefully try to tuck the snagged thread back through with a fine needle. If severe, professional repair may be needed.
Dress feels slightly stiff
Wool can have a natural stiffness. Allow the garment to hang for a few days after arrival. Ensure it has been dry cleaned properly according to instructions.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it up and down. If persistent, a seamstress may need to adjust it.
