Is the dress fully lined?
Yes, it is fully lined to provide a polished look and added comfort against the skin.
How should I clean this dress?

Does the dress have a lot of stretch?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit through the torso; it does not have significant stretch, so please ensure your measurements align with the UK size guide.
How do I store the dress to protect the sleeves?

Troubleshooting
Sleeves losing volume
Gently reshape the puff sleeves by hand and store on a wide, padded hanger to prevent flattening.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting from a distance; avoid direct contact with an iron as it may damage the metallic texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features specialized metallic textures and structured sleeve elements, proper care is essential to maintain its integrity. It is recommended to dry clean this dress to preserve the metallic finish and the shape of the puff sleeves. When storing, ensure the dress is hung using a padded hanger to prevent the shoulder volume from collapsing or creasing. Avoid direct contact with sharp jewelry or bags that could snag the textured fabric. To ensure the best fit, consult the Karen Millen size guide for the UK 8 sizing, keeping in mind that the tailored torso provides less 'give' than standard jersey fabrics.
