The dress measures approximately 130cm in length, designed to sit comfortably below the knee.
The dress is made of poplin, which is a structured, woven fabric that typically has minimal to no stretch, contributing to its architectural shape.
This dress is listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to check your natural waist and bust measurements against a standard Karen Millen size guide for the best fit.
Due to the delicate nature of the vertical pleating and the structured bodice, it is strongly recommended to follow professional dry cleaning instructions.
The waist panel is ruched and fitted to create a defined silhouette; it is not adjustable.
A balcony or strapless bra is ideal for this square neckline to ensure the straps remain hidden and the bust is properly supported.
Use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance to gently release wrinkles without crushing the precision pleats.
Consider using fashion tape to secure the straps to your undergarments for added peace of mind.
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in pleated items to have them professionally pressed.
To keep the dress in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Given the intricate vertical pleating on the bodice and the gathered detail on the skirt, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the architectural integrity of the fabric folds. If storing the garment, use a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the square neckline and prevent shoulder strap indentation. For compatibility, this dress pairs best with sleek heels or classic block-heeled sandals to balance the volume of the skirt. Because the dress features a fitted bodice and ruched waist, consider seamless undergarments to ensure a smooth transition across the torso.
