FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend checking your measurements against the Karen Millen size guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this dress is made of satin and must be dry cleaned to avoid damage to the fabric sheen and the structure of the tailoring.
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress falls at approximately 126cm in length, classifying it as a midi-length piece.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the two patch pockets located at the hip level are functional design elements.
Is this suitable for a beach wedding?
While the design is elegant, the satin material is best suited for indoor or garden settings where you can avoid dirt and sand that could damage the delicate fabric.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or pulling
Ensure that jewelry, watches, and bag clasps are smooth; avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges that could catch the satin threads.
Visible creasing upon arrival

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is crafted from satin, proper storage and maintenance are essential for longevity.
- Storage: Always hang the dress using a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured shoulders.
- Care: This dress should be dry cleaned only to protect the integrity of the fabric sheen and the tailored construction.
- Compatibility: The dress pairs well with delicate, neutral accessories that highlight its clean white color. Avoid heavy jewelry that might catch on the satin fabric.
- Travel: If transporting, use a garment bag and ensure the button-through front is laid flat to prevent deep creases.
