FAQs
Is this dress suitable for someone who is 5'5"?
This piece is specifically designed for those 5'3" and under; it may appear too short on taller frames.
What kind of bra should I wear with the halterneck?
A stick-on bra or a backless, halter-compatible strapless bra is recommended to keep straps hidden.
Can this be machine washed?
Due to the ornate floral appliqué, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent damage.
Does the dress have a lining?
Yes, the A-line construction includes internal layering to ensure opacity and structure.
What style of shoes pairs best with this?
Stilettos or elegant heeled sandals work well to elevate the hem and complement the bohemian aesthetic.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is designed with a structured fit, so it offers minimal stretch; please refer to your standard Karen Millen petite sizing.
Troubleshooting
Loose thread on floral appliqué
Do not pull the thread. Carefully trim it with small embroidery scissors or take the garment to a professional tailor to secure the detail.
Wrinkles in the skirt fabric
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the decorative appliqué to avoid heat damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the floral appliqué and delicate fabric construction, this garment should be handled with care. We recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the integrity of the embellishments. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the halterneck. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp areas. For styling, this dress is compatible with minimalist jewelry to avoid catching on the floral appliqué, and should be worn with undergarments that accommodate the specific cut of the halterneck design.
