Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen dress is designed for the modern woman seeking a sophisticated and structured addition to her wardrobe. Its key benefit lies in its versatile military-inspired detailing and flattering pencil silhouette, making it suitable for both professional and formal events. A potential caveat is its specific midi length and high-neck design, which may not suit all personal styles or body types. The dress features a striking button and loop detailing, a high neck, sleeveless design, and falls to a midi length crafted from compact stretch polyester for a sculpted fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after transport

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a low-heat iron on the reverse side as per care instructions. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.

Fit around the shoulders or bust feels slightly off

Consider consulting a professional tailor for minor adjustments. The structured nature of the dress can often be perfectly accommodated with slight alterations.

Fabric feels stiff initially

The compact stretch fabrication is designed to mold to your shape with wear. Wear the dress for short periods initially to allow it to adapt to your body. Ensure it is stored correctly to maintain its form.
