FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit and does not feature high-stretch properties, prioritizing structure and silhouette.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, given the metallic textured fabric, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended to protect the material.
What is the length of the dress?
This is a midi-length dress, typically falling below the knee and mid-calf depending on your height.
Is the dress lined?
Yes, it is fully lined to provide a comfortable, polished feel and to ensure the structure holds correctly.
How should I store the dress?
Store hanging in a breathable garment bag with enough space to ensure the puff sleeves are not crushed.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder puff loses volume
Gently shake or adjust the internal lining support; if flattened by storage, carefully steam the area to regain shape.
Minor snag on metallic threads
Do not pull the thread; use a fine needle to gently guide the loose fiber back into the weave of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is recommended due to the delicate metallic woven fabric. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents that could strip the metallic sheen. Store the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent the puff sleeves from being compressed by other clothing. When preparing for an event, steam lightly if necessary, keeping the steamer at a safe distance from the metallic fibers to avoid heat damage. The tailored fit is true to size for a UK 18, so avoid extreme modifications that could distort the intended shape of the waist and bodice.
