Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Military Double Breasted Knitted Dress is an ideal choice for the modern adult looking to balance structured tailoring with the comfort of knitwear. Designed with a commanding military-inspired silhouette, this midi dress offers a polished aesthetic perfect for office settings, dinners, or sophisticated evening events.

FAQs

Is this dress suitable for cold weather?

Yes, the wool construction offers excellent tactile warmth, making it highly appropriate for autumn and winter climates.

How long is the dress?

The dress features a midi length that sits at approximately 114cm.

Can I machine wash this garment?

It is strongly recommended to follow the internal care instructions, which typically suggest dry cleaning due to the delicate nature of the wool knit.

Are the buttons functional?

The buttons serve as a key aesthetic design element of the double-breasted military styling.

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the fitted nature of the skirt, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain the clean lines of the body-skimming silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Visible pilling or fuzz on the knit surface

Use a specialized fabric shaver or a fine-tooth sweater comb to gently remove pills without damaging the wool fibers.

Gold-tone buttons appear dull

Gently wipe the buttons with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore shine, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.

Dress appears slightly misshapen after hanging

Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry surface for 24 hours to allow the wool fibers to relax and return to their original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, versatile military-inspired design
  • High-quality wool material provides warmth and structure
  • Flattering midi length suitable for diverse events
  • Unique contrast between balloon sleeves and fitted skirt

Cons

  • Requires careful hand washing or dry cleaning due to wool content
  • Gold-tone buttons may require extra care to avoid scuffing
  • Knit fabric is prone to snagging if not handled with care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karen Millen dress maintains its structure and shape, always follow the garment's internal care label. Given the wool construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent shrinking or distortion of the knit.

When storing, avoid hanging the dress on thin wire hangers, which can stretch out the shoulders and the delicate sleeve structure; opt for padded hangers instead. Store the garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the finish of the gold-tone buttons. If the dress becomes wrinkled, use a garment steamer on a low setting rather than a traditional iron, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the knit fabric to avoid burning or flattening the fibers.
