Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Petite Tie Neck Midi Dress is an elegant, structured garment designed specifically for individuals with a shorter frame who desire a polished and refined look. Its key benefits include a flattering corset-style waistband, a sophisticated halterneck with a statement bow, and a crisp cotton construction that maintains a sculptural silhouette throughout the day. While the dress offers a high-end aesthetic perfect for special occasions, the intricate button-through front and crisp fabric require careful handling during laundering to preserve the garment's tailored integrity.

FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a bridal event?
Yes, its sophisticated white design and structured silhouette make it a popular choice for pre-wedding events, civil ceremonies, or bridal showers.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress is crafted from high-quality cotton poplin designed to hold its shape, though you may prefer wearing seamless nude undergarments due to the white colour.
Can I adjust the waistband?
The corset-style waistband is fixed in design; it is recommended to choose your standard size to ensure the structure sits at the natural waist.
How do I care for the cotton fabric?
Follow the instructions on the internal care tag; typically, this blend benefits from professional cleaning or a very gentle hand wash to maintain the crisp texture.
Are the pockets deep?
The pockets are designed for lightweight items; avoid placing heavy objects in them to ensure the skirt drapes correctly.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after sitting
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently smooth out the cotton poplin without crushing the structured waistband.
The bow tie feels loose
Secure the tie with a small, discreet safety pin inside the collar fold to maintain the desired volume throughout your event.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress is crafted from a crisp cotton poplin, maintenance is key to its longevity. It is recommended to dry clean this garment or follow specific delicate machine-wash settings if indicated on the internal care label to prevent shrinking or distortion of the structured waistband. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a sturdy hanger to prevent creasing of the bow and the gathered skirt. For the best fit, coordinate with undergarments that accommodate the open-back halterneck design. The dress is best styled with minimal, delicate jewellery to allow the architectural bow and neckline to serve as the primary visual interest.
