Karen Millen Midi Dress - Black - Size 12

This dress is designed as a petite fit, meaning it is cut shorter in the body and sleeve lengths and has a proportionally shorter hemline compared to standard sizing. It is best suited for individuals who typically wear petite clothing.

The dress is primarily made from a polyester-based bandage knit fabric with polyurethane (PU) tipping details.

It is best to store the dress by folding it neatly to avoid creases and maintain its shape. Hanging for extended periods might cause stretching in the knit fabric.

The design typically allows for various bra types. Depending on the neckline and back, a standard bra, strapless bra, or bralette can be worn. Consider the shoulder strap width and the back opening when selecting undergarments.

This dress is ideal for semi-formal events, cocktail parties, evening dinners, and sophisticated daytime gatherings. Its versatile black color and elegant design make it suitable for a range of occasions where a polished look is desired.

The PU tips are generally durable but should be protected from excessive heat and harsh chemicals. Avoid direct high heat when ironing and use mild cleaning agents. They add a design element and do not typically require special maintenance beyond standard garment care.

Ensure the dress was laid flat to dry and not hung while wet. If shape is lost, try gently reshaping it while damp.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) or silicone spray to the teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Gently wipe the PU areas with a slightly damp cloth. For a slight sheen, a leather conditioner suitable for PU can be carefully applied, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
