FAQs
Is this dress machine washable?
No, due to the delicate tulle material and tiered construction, it should be professionally dry cleaned.
Does the bodice provide enough support?
The dress is designed with a structured fit, but it is recommended to wear a strapless adhesive bra for seamless support under the off-the-shoulder neckline.
What is the best way to store this dress?
Use a padded hanger to avoid hanger marks and store in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight.
Can I wear a necklace with this dress?
While it is possible, the off-the-shoulder neckline is designed to be the focal point. Delicate earrings are generally preferred over heavy necklaces.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing; refer to your usual Karen Millen size for the best fit, keeping in mind the defined waist.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the tulle fabric
Use a garment steamer at a safe distance; do not apply a direct iron to the tulle.
Dress hem is too long for comfortable walking
Consult a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted while maintaining the integrity of the tiered construction.
Tulle tiers look flat after storage
Gently shake out the layers and hang the dress in an open space for 24 hours to allow the fabric to regain its natural volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this garment utilizes tulle and delicate ruffling, store the dress on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the off-the-shoulder neckline and prevent sagging. Due to the tiered construction and tulle layers, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the texture and structure of the ruffles. Before wearing, ensure you check your floor length against your selected heel height to prevent stepping on the hem. If the dress arrives with minor wrinkling from storage, a light steam from a distance is permissible, but avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as tulle is highly heat-sensitive.
