Designed for the fashion-conscious adult woman, the Karen Millen Soft Tailored Colour Block Pleated Midi Dress is an ideal choice for formal events like weddings, graduations, or race days where a balance between modern edge and classic elegance is required. Its primary benefit lies in its architectural silhouette, which provides a flattering fit through expert soft tailoring and dynamic pleating. One caveat to consider is that the polyester material requires specific care to maintain the integrity of the pleats and fabric texture over time.

Yes, when paired with a tailored blazer, the dress provides a professional and polished silhouette appropriate for most business-formal environments.
Due to the asymmetric one-shoulder neckline, a strapless or multi-way bra is highly recommended.
Store hanging in a breathable garment bag, ensuring there is enough space in the closet to prevent the pleats from being crushed by other clothing.
While some polyester items are machine washable, the pleat detail makes hand washing or professional dry cleaning the safest options to maintain longevity.
The dress is designed with a soft tailored fit. If you are between sizes, consider your bust and waist measurements for the best fit in the bodice.
Polyester is generally resistant to wrinkling, making this dress an excellent choice for travel or long events.
Avoid high-heat ironing. Use a steamer from a distance to gently release wrinkles without flattening the pleats.
Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a specialized anti-static spray or use a small amount of fabric conditioner during a gentle hand-wash cycle.
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, always check the internal care label for specific temperature and washing instructions. Given the delicate nature of the pleats, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape. If you must wash at home, use a cold, delicate cycle inside a mesh garment bag and hang-dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation. When storing, keep the dress on a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulder and the vertical alignment of the pleats. The dress pairs best with seamless undergarments due to the tailored, close-fitting nature of the design.
