Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen midi dress is designed for the modern woman attending formal occasions, offering a sophisticated blend of tailored elegance and feminine allure. Its key benefit lies in its distinct tuxedo-inspired lapel and halterneck, creating a sculpted silhouette that commands attention. A potential caveat is its midi length, specifically designed for a petite frame, which may require adjustments for those of different heights. Key features include a structured bodice, front centre split, and an open back detail, all crafted from satin for a luxurious feel.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after shipping

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed. Avoid direct ironing on the satin.

Satin fabric looks dull

Ensure the dress has not been exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Professional dry cleaning may restore its sheen.

Fit is not as expected due to petite sizing

Consult a professional tailor for potential alterations to the hemline or bodice for a perfect fit.
