Full details
This Karen Millen mini dress is designed for the adult female seeking a sophisticated yet artistic addition to her wardrobe, offering a striking tile-inspired print on crisp cotton poplin for a bold, artisan-influenced aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its versatility, transitioning seamlessly from daytime events to more dressed-up occasions with simple styling changes.

What is the length of the dress?

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

How should I care for this dress?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors at a low temperature (30°C) and line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a medium setting.
Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?
While cotton poplin is breathable, its structured nature might feel warmer than lighter fabrics. It is suitable for warm weather, but for extreme heat, lighter materials might offer more comfort.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Iron the dress on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron to remove wrinkles effectively.
Belt does not stay tied
Ensure the belt is tied securely. If the fabric is very smooth, a double knot might provide extra hold. Consider using a discreet fashion tape if slippage is a persistent issue.
Color fading
Wash the dress inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Fabric feels stiff
Cotton poplin is naturally crisp. Repeated washing and wearing will soften the fabric over time. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions.
