Karen Millen Lace Midi Dress - Floral - Blue - Size 12

This dress is ideal for elevated occasions such as weddings, cocktail parties, formal dinners, and other sophisticated events where a polished look is desired.

For cooler evenings, layer the dress beneath a tailored blazer, a sleek longline coat, or a sophisticated cardigan. You can also pair it with elegant tights.

Strappy heeled sandals, elegant court shoes, or sophisticated block heels complement the midi length and formal style of the dress. Nude or tonal colours often work best.

The front split is part of the dress's tailored design. While significant alterations are not recommended due to the lace, a tailor might be able to adjust the depth slightly if required, but this should be approached with caution.

Minimal jewellery is recommended to let the intricate lace detailing take centre stage. Consider delicate drop earrings, a fine bracelet, or a simple pendant necklace.

While sophisticated, the lace construction lends itself well to both daytime and evening elevated events. For daytime, consider pairing with lighter accessories and footwear.

The midi length sits approximately 120cm from the shoulder to the hem.

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn wrinkles, consult the care instructions for appropriate ironing methods.

Carefully try to tuck the snagged thread back into the weave using a fine needle. If the damage is significant, professional repair by a tailor experienced with delicate fabrics may be necessary.

Ensure the dress is the correct size. For minor discomfort, wearing seamless undergarments can help. If the issue persists, consider consulting a tailor for slight adjustments.
