FAQs
Is this dress suitable for formal weddings?

What material is used for this dress?
The dress is crafted from high-quality, breathable woven cotton poplin.
Does the dress have pockets?
The product design focuses on a sleek, tailored aesthetic without external pockets.
How should I choose my size?
The dress features a fitted bodice, so refer to standard UK sizing and consider your measurements for the most comfortable fit around the ribcage.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the sleeveless, open-back halter design, a standard bra will be visible. Adhesive or backless solutions are recommended.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
Like all cotton garments, it is best to avoid direct prolonged sunlight when storing and wash with color-safe detergents to maintain the fabric's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam or iron the garment using a steam setting appropriate for cotton to restore the crisp finish.
Difficulty keeping the bow detail sharp
Lightly starch the tie-neck fabric during the cleaning process to maintain the bow structure.
Buttons appearing loose
Since the dress features a full button-through placket, check buttons periodically and reinforce stitching if any become loose from regular wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen Tie Neck Midi Dress in optimal condition, adhere to the following care guidelines:
- Care: Dry clean or hand wash in cool water to preserve the crispness of the woven cotton poplin. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which may cause shrinkage.
- Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out any creasing common with natural cotton fibers.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the halter neckline and avoid pulling on the bodice seams.
- Compatibility: Pair with adhesive bras or backless-friendly undergarments to complement the open-back construction.
