FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is highly versatile and can be worn to formal events such as weddings, parties, and ceremonies, as well as smart-casual occasions like dinners, brunches, or even as elegant workwear.
What type of bra should I wear with the bow tie neckline?
A strapless or convertible bra is generally recommended to maintain the clean lines of the bow tie neckline. Depending on the exact style and your comfort level, a well-fitting standard bra might also work if the straps are not visible.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Please refer to the Karen Millen size guide provided on the product page or website. Accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and hips are essential for selecting the correct size.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, the dress can be altered by a professional seamstress. Common alterations include adjusting the hem length or taking in the waist for a more customized fit.
Is the fabric sheer?
The compact stretch fabric is designed to be opaque and provide comfortable coverage. It is not typically sheer, especially in the ivory colour.
How should I store this dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and potential snags. Avoid folding for long periods to prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit correctly
Refer to the size guide and ensure accurate measurements are taken. If the fit is still not right, consider professional tailoring or exchanging for a different size if available.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall out naturally. If persistent, use a cool iron on the reverse side or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.
Discoloration or stains on the ivory fabric
Treat stains immediately with a suitable fabric cleaner for delicate materials. For overall brightening, professional dry cleaning is the safest option.
