FAQs
What is the best way to store this dress?
Store it in a breathable garment bag, hanging on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the flutter sleeves.
Can I iron this dress at home?
Avoid direct contact with a hot iron. If necessary, use a steamer on a low setting, ensuring you do not touch the fabric directly with the nozzle.
Is the white color sheer?
The dress is designed with a high-quality viscose satin crepe that provides good coverage, but we recommend wearing nude-colored undergarments for the most seamless look.
Does this dress run true to size?
Karen Millen sizing is standard UK sizing. The ruched waist allows for some flexibility, but please consult the brand size guide for your specific measurements.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, a professional tailor experienced with satin can perform alterations, but because of the ruched detailing, adjustments should be limited.
Is the dress suitable for cold weather?
This is primarily a spring or summer piece due to the fabric weight and design; it is best paired with a formal shawl or bolero if the temperature drops.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has minor wrinkles from storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance of at least 15cm to gently release wrinkles without damaging the satin finish.
Static cling affecting the drape
Lightly mist the inner side of the skirt with a fabric anti-static spray or use a small amount of diluted fabric softener on a damp cloth to wipe the lining.
Accidental spill on white fabric
Do not rub the spot. Blot gently with a clean, dry white cloth and take the dress to a professional cleaner immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress lasts, treat it as a luxury item. Store it hanging in a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and potential snags from hangers. Given the nature of viscose satin, moisture can cause water spots; therefore, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing this in heavy rain or around spilled liquids. When it comes to cleaning, do not attempt home machine washing. Always take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to ensure the satin integrity is preserved. For styling, the clean crew-neck design pairs exceptionally well with delicate gold or silver jewelry that does not overwhelm the keyhole detail.
