FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a structured piece. If you fall between sizes, it is recommended to consult a size guide or consider the fitted nature of the ruched waist.
Can I machine wash this garment?
No. Due to the delicate viscose satin crepe material, this dress is strictly for professional dry cleaning only.
What undergarments are best for this dress?
Seamless, nude-toned undergarments are recommended, particularly due to the light white color of the fabric.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress is crafted from high-quality woven viscose, providing sufficient opacity, though the use of nude undergarments is suggested for the white variant.
Is the waist adjustable?
The waist features fixed ruched gathering for a permanent sculpted fit; it is not intended to be adjusted.
What length is the dress?
This is a maxi-length dress designed to reach the ankles or floor, depending on your height and footwear.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the fabric.
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting; avoid direct contact with an iron which may scorch the satin.
Fabric snagging on jewelry or accessories.
Check your accessories for sharp edges before wearing; if a pull occurs, do not cut it, as this may lead to further unraveling of the weave.
Minor stains or marks on the white fabric.
Blot gently with a clean, dry white cloth immediately. Do not rub the area, as this can damage the satin finish. Seek professional dry cleaning for persistent stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in optimal condition, always store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder deformation from the flutter sleeves. Given the viscose composition, it is highly recommended to seek professional dry cleaning. If small creases appear from transit, use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the fabric to prevent water spotting. Avoid contact with abrasive jewelry or rough surfaces that could cause pulls in the satin weave. If you are coordinating with accessories, opt for minimal, smooth-textured metallic jewelry to complement the refined neckline without snagging the fabric.
