Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, it is recommended to follow standard garment care for linen blends. Always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, though dry cleaning or gentle hand washing is typically advised to protect the contrast stitching from fraying or discoloration. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the bodice and prevent the spaghetti straps from stretching. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, use a cool iron or a handheld steamer, taking care to avoid direct, prolonged heat on the contrast stitching threads.
