Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen midi dress in beige, size 16, is designed for women seeking sophisticated and put-together attire for special occasions. Its key benefit lies in its expertly designed silhouette that sculpts the figure with minimal effort, while a potential caveat is its structured nature, which might require specific undergarments for optimal fit. Key features include a crossover halterneck bodice, a structured corset-style waist with boning, a voluminous gathered midi skirt, a coordinating belt, and a comfortable cotton-blend fabric with a cotton lining.

FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal occasions such as weddings, garden parties, race days, graduations, and other celebratory events.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a cotton-blend fabric and is fully cotton-lined for comfort and a beautiful drape.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for Karen Millen dresses. For this particular dress, size 16 is available, with other sizes like 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 also offered in similar styles.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress requires dry cleaning only to maintain its structure and fabric quality.

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the structured corset-style bodice, seamless undergarments are recommended for a smooth silhouette. Consider a supportive bra that works with the halterneck design.

How long is the dress?

The midi length falls approximately 138cm from shoulder to hem.

Does the belt come with the dress?

Yes, the dress includes a coordinating belt with a square buckle.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after shipping.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional steaming is also an option.

Belt does not stay fastened.

Ensure the square buckle is properly aligned and secured. If the buckle is loose, consult a tailor for potential repair or replacement.

Bodice feels too tight or restrictive.

This dress features a structured corset bodice. If it feels overly restrictive, ensure you are wearing the correct size or consider if lighter-weight undergarments might offer more comfort.

Fabric appears creased after wearing.

This is characteristic of natural fiber blends. Ensure the dress is properly hung after wear. Minor creases can often be managed with steaming or a cool iron.
