Product Information

Full details

Designed for the sophisticated adult woman, the Karen Millen Tailored Belted Full Skirted Midi Dress combines the structured elegance of classic suiting with the feminine movement of a pleated midi skirt. It is an ideal choice for high-profile events such as weddings, race days, or graduation ceremonies where a polished, refined aesthetic is required. One caveat to consider is that the linen composition and intricate pleating require careful maintenance to preserve the garment's sharp tailoring and shape.

FAQs

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the linen construction and pleated skirt, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the integrity of the design.

Is the belt included with the dress?

Yes, each dress comes with a removable slim belt designed to match the garment.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, measuring approximately 138cm.

Can I wear this dress to a casual event?

While highly versatile, its tailored design makes it best suited for formal occasions like weddings, races, or ceremonies.

What fabric is used for the lining?

The dress features a comfortable and breathable cotton lining.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the linen fabric

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low heat setting. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent heat damage to the fabric fibers.

Pleats losing their crisp shape

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in pleated items to have the pleats professionally reset.

Belt slippage during wear

Ensure the belt is pulled snugly and the buckle prong is fully engaged. If it continues to slide, ensure it is positioned at the narrowest part of your waist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for various formal events
  • High-quality tailoring for a flattering, structured fit
  • Breathable linen construction ensures all-day comfort
  • Includes a removable belt for silhouette customization
  • Cotton lining provides an opaque and comfortable wear

Cons

  • Linen fabric is prone to creasing and requires careful pressing
  • Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the pleated structure
  • Structured tailoring may feel more restrictive than casual jersey dresses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Given the delicate nature of the pleated skirt and the structural integrity of the linen, proper care is essential to ensure the garment lasts through many wears. We recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the precise folds of the skirt and the sharpness of the lapels. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent distortion of the bodice shape. Avoid overcrowding the dress in your wardrobe to keep the pleats from becoming crushed. If minor creasing occurs from transport, use a steamer on a low, fabric-appropriate setting, taking care not to pull on the pleats.
