Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Tailored Full Skirt Midi Dress is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, structured look for formal occasions, weddings, or milestones. Its primary benefit lies in the masterful combination of a precise, waist-defining bodice and a graceful, sweeping pleated skirt that creates a balanced, elegant silhouette. One caveat to keep in mind is that the structured fabric and tailored fit require careful consideration of sizing and dry cleaning to maintain the dress's intended shape and longevity.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the tailored construction and structured fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

Does the dress have a lining?

Yes, it is fully lined for a polished, comfortable finish against the skin.

How does the dress fit at the waist?

The bodice is tailored with precise seaming to provide a defined and structured waistline.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing upon removal from packaging

Hang the dress in a bathroom during a steamy shower to allow natural gravity and moisture to relax the fabric, or use a handheld steamer on a low setting.

The fit feels slightly restrictive around the waist

The dress is designed for a tailored fit; ensure the seams are aligned correctly with your natural waist. If the discomfort persists, consider visiting a professional tailor for minor adjustments.

Pleats losing their crispness

Professional dry cleaning is required to re-set the pleats and maintain the architectural structure of the skirt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expertly tailored for a flattering, balanced silhouette
  • Sophisticated, timeless aesthetic suitable for multiple formal events
  • High-quality construction with full lining for comfort
  • Structured fabric maintains shape throughout the day

Cons

  • Structured material may require professional dry cleaning
  • The 132cm length may require adjustments for shorter statures
  • Limited stretch due to the structured tailoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a structured, tailored garment, the dress should be stored on a quality hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or wrinkling of the pleats. It is recommended to check the care label inside the garment; given the structured nature of the fabric and the lining, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to ensure the pleats remain crisp and the fabric integrity is preserved. If light steaming is required, ensure the steamer is kept at a safe distance from the fabric to prevent water spotting or heat damage to the structured fibers.
