How can I style the removable belt?

The slim belt can be worn cinched at the waist to define your silhouette or removed entirely for a more relaxed, flowing line. It can be fastened at the front or back depending on your preference.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a viscose-linen blend fabric, which offers a natural, breathable texture and a beautiful drape. The lining is made of cotton for comfort.

What is the length of the dress?

The midi length is approximately 138cm, providing an elegant and occasion-ready proportion.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the viscose-linen blend and tailored construction, dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the fabric's quality and the garment's shape.

Does this dress come in other sizes or colors?

This specific product is a Karen Millen Midi Dress in Brown/Gold, size 16. Other sizes and colors may be available as separate product listings.

Can I wear this dress year-round?

The viscose-linen blend makes it suitable for warmer weather, while the midi length and structured design can also work in cooler seasons when layered appropriately with jackets or wraps.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a medium setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed.

Belt does not sit correctly.

Ensure the belt is threaded through the loops correctly and adjusted to your preferred waistline for a defined silhouette.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning.

This can be a characteristic of linen blends. Gentle steaming or professional pressing should restore the drape. Ensure cleaning was done according to recommended methods.

Lining feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the dress is the correct size and that the cotton lining is not bunching. The lining is designed for comfort, so discomfort may indicate a sizing issue.
