FAQs

What material is this dress made of?

The dress is crafted from high-quality wool.

Is this dress appropriate for corporate environments?

Yes, the pinstripe pattern and shirt-dress design are specifically tailored for boardroom and client-facing settings.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, it is recommended to dry clean the garment to maintain the integrity of the wool fabric and the pleated skirt.

How long is the dress?

The dress is a maxi length, falling at approximately 123cm.

Does the dress have any stretch?

As it is made from tailored wool, it offers a more structured fit with limited stretch compared to synthetic fabrics.

Is the waist adjustable?

The dress features a fixed defined waist seam designed for a sharp, tailored silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkles in the pleated skirt

Use a professional garment steamer on the low setting to gently release wrinkles without crushing the pleats.

Collar loses its shape

Store the dress buttoned to the top on a quality hanger to keep the collar structure intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress on a structured, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
  2. Cleaning: Given the wool material, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the pleats.
  3. Steaming: If the fabric develops creases, use a hand-held steamer from a distance. Do not press the iron directly onto the wool fabric as it can cause shiny patches.
  4. Styling: The dress fits true to size as a tailored piece; ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit at the waist and shoulders.
