Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, it is recommended to follow the care label instructions provided inside the garment, typically requiring professional cleaning or gentle hand washing depending on the specific composition. When storing, use a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured shoulders and lapels. The dress is highly compatible with classic formal footwear, particularly pointed-toe pumps or heels with bow accents. Ensure you steam the garment lightly before wear to remove any transit wrinkles without damaging the integrity of the structured seams.
