FAQs
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, the satin fabric is delicate and requires professional dry cleaning to maintain its quality.
What kind of shoes pair best with this dress?
Strappy heels or elegant block-heel sandals complement the maxi length and the front split perfectly.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
Satin can wrinkle if packed tightly, so it is recommended to hang the dress in a breathable garment bag during transit.
Does the dress have a lining?
The garment is crafted from premium satin designed to hang elegantly; refer to the internal care label for specific construction details.
How do I choose the right size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing; refer to the official Karen Millen size guide and consider the ruched waist's adjustability.
Can the sleeves be altered?
While the flutter sleeves are a signature feature, any structural alterations should be performed by a professional tailor to ensure the drape is not compromised.
Troubleshooting
Creasing or wrinkling from storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or a cool iron with a protective pressing cloth.
Static cling in dry environments
Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a specialized anti-static spray or use a metal hanger to ground the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, handle the satin material with care to avoid contact with abrasive surfaces that could cause pulls. Because of the delicate nature of the fabric, this garment must be dry cleaned only; do not attempt machine washing or tumble drying, as this will damage the finish. Before wear, ensure the dress is steamed or ironed on a low, cool setting to remove any creases from storage, always using a pressing cloth to protect the sheen.
