Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen dress is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and contemporary outfit. Its key benefit is the innovative material contrast between a soft ribbed knit bodice and a striking PU pleated midi skirt, offering both comfort and a flattering silhouette. A potential caveat is that the form-fitting nature of the bodice may not suit all preferences. Key features include a square neckline, long sleeves, a midi length design, and distinctive tab detail at the waist.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the dress?

The dress features a ribbed viscose bodice and a PU (polyurethane) pleated midi skirt. Some variants may incorporate wool, as indicated in the product details.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for Karen Millen. The bodice is designed for a form-fitting silhouette, so precise measurements are recommended.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, machine washing is not recommended for this dress due to the delicate ribbed viscose, PU skirt, and potential wool content. Hand wash or dry clean is advised according to specific material care.

What is the length of the dress?

The midi length design falls approximately 125cm from the centre back.

How should I care for the PU pleated skirt?

Wipe the PU skirt with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid direct heat and machine washing. Steam can be used cautiously if needed to maintain pleats.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

Yes, with its elegant design and material contrast, it is suitable for many formal and semi-formal events. Styling with heels and accessories will enhance its formality.

What kind of undergarments are best with the square neckline?

A plunge or strapless bra is generally recommended to complement the square neckline without being visible.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight in the bodice

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The ribbed viscose is designed to be form-fitting; consider styling with a jacket or cardigan if a looser fit is desired.

Pleats in the skirt are losing their shape

Avoid machine washing or tumble drying the skirt. If creasing occurs, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer a safe distance from the PU material. Professional pressing may be required for severe creases.

PU skirt material shows scuff marks

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner suitable for PU might be used sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
