FAQs

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, parties, formal dinners, and other special occasions where a sophisticated and elegant attire is appropriate.

How should I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. As this is a UK size 6, ensure you compare your measurements to the Karen Millen sizing guide for accurate fitting.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the sleeveless design allows for layering. Consider pairing it with a tailored blazer, a stylish cropped jacket, or an elegant wrap for warmth.

What type of undergarments are best with this dress?

A seamless, neutral-toned undergarment is recommended to avoid any visible lines. Given the high neckline, a standard bra should be suitable.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The product description does not specify stretch. It is described as 'tailored,' suggesting a more structured fit. It is advisable to check specific fabric composition if stretch is a key requirement.

How do I care for the pleated skirt?

The pleats are a key design feature and require careful maintenance. Dry cleaning is recommended, and professional pressing will help maintain their crispness. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

Midi length typically falls below the knee and above the ankle. The exact measurement would depend on the specific dress length, but it is designed for versatile social occasions.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Follow the care instructions for professional pressing or use a cool iron on the reverse side with extreme caution. Hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period may also help relax minor creases.

Colour block panels are not aligned

This is likely a manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer for assistance or exchange. Ensure the garment has been handled according to care instructions.

Pleats have lost their definition

The pleats may need to be re-pressed professionally. Refer to dry cleaning instructions for recommended pressing services.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and appearance of the Karen Millen Soft Tailored Colour Block High Neck Pleated Midi Dress, follow these care guidelines:
