Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen midi dress is designed for the adult female seeking a sophisticated and artful statement piece for formal occasions. Its key benefit lies in its unique asymmetric design and flattering silhouette, offering quiet confidence and impeccable taste. A potential caveat is its specific care requirements due to the viscose-linen blend fabric. This dress features a striking asymmetric neckline with a structured fold-over collar, a dramatically asymmetric full skirt with diagonal panelling, and a defined waist seam, all crafted from a breathable viscose-linen blend with a cotton lining.

FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as summer weddings, garden parties, the races, or sophisticated evening events.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from a viscose-linen blend, with a cotton lining. This combination provides a crisp, breathable, and structured finish.

How should I clean this dress?

The dress is dry clean only. Please consult a professional dry cleaner to maintain the fabric's quality and the garment's structure.

What is the length of the dress?

The midi length sits approximately 119cm from the shoulder, offering sophisticated coverage.

Can I wear this dress in hot weather?

Yes, the viscose-linen blend is breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather, although direct sunlight for extended periods should be avoided to protect the fabric.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the asymmetric neckline, consider seamless undergarments. A strapless bra or one with clear straps may be suitable, depending on the exact cut and how the fabric drapes.

How does the sizing run for this dress?

The dress features a defined waist and a full skirt. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements, particularly for UK size 8.

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Store on a padded hanger to minimize creasing.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is characteristic of the structured viscose-linen blend. With wear and proper care, the fabric will soften while retaining its shape.

Garment loses shape after cleaning.

Ensure dry cleaning is performed by a reputable specialist. Use a padded hanger for storage and avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.

  • Midi length provides elegant and sophisticated coverage.
  • Ideal for special occasions like weddings, races, or graduations.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

This garment is a masterclass in considered design and requires careful attention to maintain its structure and fabric integrity.

  • Cleaning: Due to the delicate viscose-linen blend and structured details, this dress is dry clean only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.

Styling Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Designed to be worn with heels. Block heels or elegant stilettos work best to complement the midi length and skirt volume. Open-toe styles add warmth.
  • Accessories: Opt for minimalist gold jewellery. A statement earring or a simple bangle can enhance the look. A clutch or small shoulder bag is ideal.
  • Outerwear: A tailored blazer or a sophisticated wrap can be added for cooler evenings.
