Troubleshooting

Use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, prioritize professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the polyester fabric and the internal lining. Because of the open-back design, it is recommended to use adhesive or backless undergarments to ensure a seamless look. When preparing for an event, steam the dress gently on a low setting to remove any wrinkles from storage, being careful to avoid high heat directly on the seams. Store the dress in a breathable garment bag when not in use to protect the fabric from dust and accidental snagging.
