The Queen of the Jungle is our Queen of the High Street in the gorgeous feathered dress
Vicky Patterson, the former Strictly Come Dancing star and Queen of the Jungle, is the epitome of high-street glamour. She never ceases to impress with her outfits, particularly when they can be found on the high street. The author and ex-Geordie Shore reality star recently shared a snapshot on social media from her weekend trip to Paris with her husband, and fans were left in awe of one of her dresses.
Sporting a figure-hugging brown bandeau dress adorned with feathered accents at the bust and leg slit, admirers of the Heart FM presenter flooded the Instagram post with compliments. These included ‘you look gaaaawwwjuuuss’, ‘Vic you look absolutely sensational’, and ‘so beautifullll’.
Subsequently, Vicky revealed on her stories that the stunning dress was from Karen Millen. Even better, it’s currently on sale with 30% off in the brown shade, and a whopping 70% off in an alternative cornflower blue.
The Figure Form Bandage Feather Detail Bandeau Knit Midi Dress in brown usually sells for £179, but thanks to the brand’s winter sale, it’s now just £125.30. Regrettably, only the small size is still available in this colour.
However, those interested in the cornflower blue version will be pleased to know it’s still available in all sizes at the time of writing, reports ChronicleLive.

Karen Millen’s style notes read: “Master occasion dressing in our midi dress, featuring floating feathers adorning the bodice and and a dramatic, thigh high leg split. Style it with strappy heels for a statement occasion look that is certain to turn heads.”
This stunning option is now available for just £54, a whopping 70% off the original price, making it an absolute steal. Perfect for winter events ranging from dinners to weddings and more, the dress features delicate feathers in the same colour as the main body of the dress adorning the bodice along with a rather dramatic, thigh-high leg split.
The dress is crafted from a high-quality knit fabric composed of 97% recycled polyester and 3% elastane, ensuring a bit of stretch for comfort. Secured with a zip at the back, this elegant yet bold frock is sure to turn heads.
Although its bandeau style might be a tad chilly for winter, shoppers seeking a bit more coverage for their arms can take advantage of Debenhams’ sale, which sees the Oasis Feather Cuff Satin Bridal Mini Dress reduced to £62.30 from £89. Featuring long sleeves adorned with a smattering of feathers at the cuffs, this mini shift 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 discounted to £56 from £69. Adorned with feathers on both its cuffs and hemline, this show-stopping number boasts a waist-slimming cut and mini length.
Now, whilst the Karen Millen dress lacks customer reviews on the website, the brand has garnered some excellent TrustPilot feedback that highlights its quality. One customer remarked: “Ordered two coats and such good quality and beautiful I decided to keep both. Customer service was prompt and extremely helpful.”
Another shopper commented: “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, for some customers, the returns procedure isn’t quite as pleasant when they’ve bought a size that doesn’t fit properly. One person described their experience: “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.
“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!”
Therefore, keep this in mind. Whilst the brand provides an online sizing guide, it doesn’t feature length measurements, so do be mindful of this.
