The Karen Millen Petite Jersey and Georgette Mix Belted Pleat Midi Dress is an ideal choice for the professional woman seeking a blend of comfort and elegance. It features a soft jersey bodice and an accordion-pleated georgette skirt, providing a sophisticated silhouette that transitions seamlessly from day to evening. While the dress offers a refined look with its structured belt and collar, potential owners should note that the delicate pleated georgette fabric requires careful handling to maintain its texture and longevity.

Yes, this dress is designed for a petite fit. Refer to the standard sizing guide for your usual size, as it is proportioned to fit a shorter frame accurately.
No. Tumble drying will likely damage the georgette pleats and potentially shrink the jersey fabric.
Yes, the dress includes the structured buckle belt as part of the design.
A classic plunge or demi-cup bra works well with the V-neckline to ensure coverage and support.
The jersey bodice is relatively wrinkle-resistant, but the georgette skirt should be packed carefully or hung in a garment bag to preserve the pleats.
The sleeves feature button cuffs, which can be undone to allow for a rolled-up, relaxed look, though the structure is designed to be worn buttoned.
Avoid machine drying. Steam the garment gently from a distance; do not press an iron directly onto the georgette pleats.
Use a light steam or a cool iron on the reverse side of the jersey fabric.
Ensure the buckle prong is fully secured in the intended hole; if the belt is too long, a professional tailor can add an extra hole without damaging the structural integrity.
Because this garment uses two distinct fabric types—jersey and georgette—proper care is essential to maintain its performance. The jersey bodice is durable, but the accordion-pleated georgette skirt is sensitive to high heat and aggressive agitation. It is highly recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a mesh laundry bag to protect the pleats. Always hang the dress to dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading of the blue color. Store the dress hanging rather than folded to prevent the pleats from flattening over time. Use a low-heat setting on an iron only if necessary, or preferably use a handheld steamer from a safe distance to remove wrinkles from the jersey sections.
