Afterwards, Vicky revealed on her stories that the stunning dress was from Karen Millen. Even better, it’s currently on sale with 30% off her chosen brown shade – although this one is currently out of stock – and a whopping 70% off in an alternative blue shade. The Figure Form Bandage Feather Detail Bandeau Knit Midi Dress usually retails for £179, but thanks to the brand’s winter sale, the cornflower blue version is still available in all sizes for just £54.
Perfect for winter events ranging from dinners to weddings, the feathery Karen Millen dress features delicate feathers in the same hue as the main body of the dress adorning the bodice and leg split, along with a rather dramatic, thigh-high leg split. The dress is crafted from high-quality knit fabric composed of 97% recycled polyester and 3% elastane, ensuring a bit of stretch. With a zip fastening at the back, this elegant yet statement-making frock is sure to turn heads.
Although its bandeau style might be a tad chilly for winter, shoppers seeking more coverage for their arms can take advantage of Debenhams’ sale. The Oasis Feather Cuff Satin Bridal Mini Dress is now reduced to £62.30 from £89. Featuring long sleeves adorned with a handful of feathers at the cuffs, this mini shift style dress skims over the tummy and thighs and would pair beautifully with knee-high boots or tights and pointed silver shoes.
Meanwhile, River Island’s Petite Black Velvet Feather Trim Mini Dress is an excellent choice for those with smaller frames. Currently on sale for £56, down from £69, this showstopper of a dress boasts feathers decorating both its cuffs and hemline, along with a waist-slimming cut and mini length.
Now, whilst the Karen Millen dress lacks customer reviews on the website, the brand has garnered impressive TrustPilot feedback that highlights its superior quality.
One shopper remarked: “Ordered two coats and such good quality and beautiful I decided to keep both. Customer service was prompt and extremely helpful.”
Another customer enthused: “I’ve been shopping at Karen Millen for years, and it’s easily one of my favourite places to buy clothes. The quality is consistently excellent, and every piece feels well-designed and long-lasting. I’ve purchased so many items from them and have been happy every time.”
However, some customers find the returns procedure less than satisfactory when items don’t fit properly.
One buyer detailed their frustration: “The biggest issue they have are refunding you once you have returned the items. It’s very slow and I always have to chase them up about my refund.”
They continued: “It’s very annoying and expensive when you purchase multiple items to try on as things look different on and in person. Then you are awaiting a refund for up to three or four weeks! KM [Karen Millen] please sort it out!”
You might want to keep this in mind when ordering. Whilst the brand provides an online sizing chart to assist customers, it’s worth noting that length measurements aren’t included, so factor this into your decision, reports Chronicle Live.
