Full details
The Karen Millen Soft Tailored Colour Block Detail Midi Dress is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a sophisticated, occasion-ready outfit that blends architectural design with flattering comfort. Its primary benefit is the expertly crafted silhouette, which features a wrap-style bodice and gathered waist to provide structure and definition, though potential buyers should note that the polyester construction requires careful attention to laundry instructions to maintain the fabric's drape and finish.

FAQs
What material is this dress made of?
The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold structured tailoring.
Can I wear this to a black-tie event?
Yes, its sophisticated silhouette and midi length make it highly suitable for formal occasions, including black-tie optional events.
Does the dress have any stretch?
As a soft-tailored piece, it is designed for a structured fit rather than a stretchy one. It is recommended to select your true UK size for the best drape.
How should I store the dress?
Store on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the colour block detailing.
Is the waist adjustable?
The waist features artful gathering, which helps provide definition and structure, but the primary fit is achieved through the cut of the wrap-style bodice.
Troubleshooting
Fabric wrinkles after travel
Use a garment steamer at a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the fabric to gently release creases.
Bodice fit feels insecure
Ensure the wrap tie is secured at the waist to keep the V-neckline in position. A small discreet fashion tape can also be used if extra security is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, always refer to the garment's internal care label. As the dress is crafted from polyester, it is generally recommended to handle it with care to avoid snagging the fabric.
- Care: If machine washing is permitted by the specific label, use a delicate cycle inside a laundry bag to protect the wrap detailing. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the tailoring and the vibrant colour blocking.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the fabric from creasing or the wrap-style bodice from losing its intended shape in the closet.
- Compatibility: The dress pairs seamlessly with metallic or neutral-toned heels, as the multicolor design is visually complex enough to anchor an entire ensemble without requiring heavy accessorizing.
