Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen midi dress is designed for adult females seeking a sophisticated and impactful outfit for special occasions. Its key benefit lies in its elegant silhouette, architectural neckline, and refined tailoring, perfect for events like summer weddings or garden parties. A potential caveat is its specific occasion-wear focus, meaning it may be less suited for everyday casual wear. Key features include a distinctive crossover halterneck, a structured corset-style bodice with boning, a coordinating belt with a square buckle, and a full, gathered midi skirt crafted from a breathable viscose and linen blend with a cotton lining.

How long is the midi skirt?

The skirt falls to a graceful midi length, approximately 138cm.

How should I care for this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality of the fabric. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Can the belt be removed?

What type of undergarments are recommended for the halterneck?

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Troubleshooting

Creasing in viscose/linen blend

Hang the dress to allow wrinkles to fall out. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth, or consider professional steaming.

Belt not staying in place

Ensure the buckle is securely fastened. If the belt tends to slip, consider adding a small amount of double-sided fashion tape between the belt and the fabric for extra grip.

Dress feels stiff after cleaning

This can sometimes happen with natural fiber blends. Gentle steaming can help restore the fabric's drape. Ensure cleaning was done according to recommended methods (professional dry clean).
