Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen tailored midi dress is designed for the modern woman seeking sophisticated daywear or elevated event attire. Its key benefit lies in its universally flattering silhouette, achieved through elegant darted waist detailing and a gracefully flowing pleated skirt. A potential consideration is that, like many linen blends, it may wrinkle and require careful care to maintain its crisp appearance.
