Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Compact Stretch Button Detail Straight Pencil Dress in Navy, Size 14, is designed for adult females seeking a sophisticated and structured garment for formal events and smart daytime occasions. Its key benefit is the striking military-inspired button and loop detailing that creates a bold, architectural focal point. A potential caveat is the fitted, straight pencil cut which may not suit all body types or offer extensive freedom of movement for very active wear. The dress features a high neck, sleeveless design, and a midi length crafted from a compact stretch polyester fabrication, fully lined for comfort and a refined finish.
