Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen tailored midi dress is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and flattering silhouette for professional and formal occasions. Its key benefit is the enhanced waist definition through the peplum detail and the comfort provided by its stretch fabric. A potential caveat is that the midi length may require specific footwear choices for optimal styling. The dress features a sleek peplum waist, a decorative button-through front with utility-inspired chest pockets, stretch fabric for comfort and shape retention, a midi length, and a clean round neckline.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing.
Fabric feels tight or restrictive.
The stretch fabric should offer comfort. If it feels overly tight, ensure you have the correct size. The fabric is designed to move with you, so minor tightness might ease with wear.
Buttons become loose.
Carefully re-sew any loose buttons using a strong thread that matches the original. Ensure the thread is securely fastened.
