FAQs

Is the fabric stretchy?

Viscose satin crepe typically offers a fluid drape with minimal mechanical stretch, so it is best to rely on the tailored fit of the size 6.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, machine washing is not recommended for this satin piece. Dry cleaning is the safest way to preserve the fabric's finish.

Is the split very high?

The front thigh-high split is designed to be a prominent feature, but its height relative to your legs will vary based on your personal stature.

What colors does this dress come in?

Beyond this blue variant, this specific style is also available in sage green and white in various sizes.

Does the dress have a lining?

The dress is crafted for a smooth, single-layer drape typical of high-quality viscose satin, designed to feel lightweight against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the fabric

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, moving carefully over the fabric without touching the steamer head directly to the satin.

Small snag or pull in the satin

Do not cut the thread. Gently use a needle to pull the snag through to the inside of the dress to hide it.

  • Sophisticated design suitable for weddings and galas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the luster and integrity of your Karen Millen dress, follow these guidelines:

  1. Care: Due to the satin crepe material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent fabric distortion or water spotting.
  2. Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples or fabric stretching. Keep away from sharp jewelry that could snag the delicate satin fibers.
  3. Compatibility: This garment is a UK size 6; check the size chart to ensure the fit is appropriate for your measurements. It is designed to be paired with delicate, high-heeled footwear rather than heavy boots to maintain the elegant drape of the hemline.
  4. Steaming: If wrinkles occur, use a garment steamer on a low, gentle setting from the inside of the garment to avoid heat damage to the satin finish.
