FAQs
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
This dress is ideal for formal evening events such as black-tie dinners, galas, weddings, and sophisticated parties.
How should I style this dress?

What is the fabric composition?
The dress is made from a luxurious satin viscose fabric.
How do I clean this dress?
The recommended cleaning method is dry clean only to preserve the fabric quality and finish.
Can this dress be altered?

Is the sizing accurate?
Generally, Karen Millen sizing is considered true to size. It's always advisable to check the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit.
What type of undergarments are recommended?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after storage
Ensure the dress was stored correctly. Gentle steaming on a low setting (from the reverse side) can help restore the fabric's drape. Professional dry cleaning may be required if the stiffness persists.
Minor creases or wrinkles
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period. For more stubborn creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct heat.
Snagging on the fabric
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small, sharp scissors. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.
