Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Tailored Satin Keyhole Cut Out Midi Dress is designed for women seeking an elegant and sophisticated piece for special occasions. Its key benefit lies in its refined tailoring and luxurious satin fabric, offering a polished look. A minor caveat is that satin requires careful handling and cleaning. This midi dress features a distinctive keyhole cut-out at the crew neckline, a sculpted waist seam for a flattering silhouette, and a midi length hemline. The satin material provides a subtle sheen, and the fully lined construction ensures a comfortable and refined finish.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side, avoiding direct heat.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure the dry cleaner used appropriate methods for satin. If hand washing (not recommended), use a very gentle detergent and cool water, then air dry away from direct heat.
