Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this dress come in sizes for taller individuals?

No, this specific model is part of the Karen Millen Petite collection, which is specifically cut and scaled for a shorter frame.

Can I machine wash this garment?

It is recommended to dry clean this dress to protect the contrast tipping and maintain the structured integrity of the fabric.

Is the belt removable?

Yes, the belt is designed to be removed or adjusted according to your style preference.

What is the material composition?

The dress is made from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to maintain a sharp, tailored silhouette.

How long is the dress?

It is a midi-length dress, designed to fall at or slightly below the mid-calf, depending on your height.

Does the dress have pockets?

To maintain the sleek, tailored silhouette, this design does not feature external pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fabric wrinkles after travel

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting. Do not press with a heavy iron directly on the contrast trim.

Waist belt feels too loose

Ensure the belt is fed through the rear loops securely. You may need to have a tailor add an additional eyelet if you require a tighter fit.

Button closure tension

Check that the interior anchoring button is secure; if it is pulling the fabric, ensure you are not over-cinching the waist belt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expertly proportioned for petite frames
  • Sophisticated trench coat-inspired design
  • Versatile for both professional and occasion wear
  • Includes adjustable waist belt for a custom fit

Cons

  • Material is 100% polyester, requiring careful temperature control during ironing
  • Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain structure
  • Limited stretch due to the structured tailoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress retains its structured aesthetic, follow these care and maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the contrast tipping and the structured fit, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the shape.
  2. Storage: Always store this dress on a wide, contoured hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and to maintain the integrity of the cap-shoulder design.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-temperature iron setting or a garment steamer. Avoid applying high heat directly to the contrast tipped detailing to prevent melting or discoloration.
  4. Fit: This item is specifically sized for a petite frame. Ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the tailored nature provides little room for adjustment in the bodice.
