Full details
The Karen Millen Structured Peplum Midi Dress is designed for the modern woman who values architectural tailoring and a polished silhouette for formal events. Its primary benefit lies in the high-quality satin fabric and the dramatic peplum bodice that provides a refined, defined waistline. A key caveat is that the structured nature of the fabric requires intentional storage and careful handling to maintain its original form.

Troubleshooting
Fabric appears dull
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or perfume sprays. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to restore the factory finish.
Visible wrinkles in the skirt
Use a professional steamer from a distance rather than a direct iron, as high heat can damage the satin texture.
Peplum pleats look flattened
Stuff the bodice area with acid-free tissue paper while stored to help the pleats maintain their architectural volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the garment, hang it in a garment bag when not in use to protect the satin finish and prevent the bodice pleats from losing their shape. Given the material, spot cleaning is not recommended; it is best to consult a professional dry cleaner to ensure the luster of the satin is preserved. When traveling, use a padded hanger to avoid creases in the structured bodice. Avoid pinning heavy brooches to the fabric, as the satin may be prone to snagging.
