The Karen Millen Petite Pleated Maxi Dress is an elegant formal garment tailored specifically for women with a shorter frame who desire a sophisticated look for black-tie galas or weddings. Featuring a striking fan-pleated bodice and fluid maxi skirt, this dress provides a sculptural, architectural silhouette that balances height and presence; however, users should be aware that the intricate pleated construction requires careful handling and dry cleaning to maintain its shape.

Yes, it is available in a range of UK sizes from 4 through 16 to accommodate different fits.
No, you must dry clean this dress to protect the integrity of the fan-pleated bodice and delicate trim.
Yes, the petite proportions are adjusted throughout the bodice and skirt length to ensure a proper fit for shorter frames.
This is a formal piece designed for black-tie galas, weddings, and high-end evening events.
The sheer trim is a delicate finishing detail along the neckline; it should be handled with care to avoid snagging.
A strapless neckline works beautifully with statement earrings or a necklace, though the sculptural bodice is often enough to stand on its own.
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in pleated fabric; do not attempt to iron at home.
Ensure the skin is free of lotions or oils before wearing, and consider using garment tape for added security.
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always store it hanging in a cool, dry closet. Avoid folding the bodice, as this may crush the pleats. Because this dress features a strapless bandeau neckline, consider a reliable, well-fitted strapless bra or silicone adhesive cups for maximum comfort and support. To clean, this garment must be taken to a professional dry cleaner; home washing or tumble drying will permanently damage the structural pleats and the sheer trim. If the fabric becomes wrinkled during travel, use a professional-grade steamer from a distance, or have the cleaner press it professionally.
