Troubleshooting
Tassels are becoming tangled
Gently comb through the tassels with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to separate strands. Avoid pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, follow these essential maintenance practices:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the bandage knit and tassels, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fiber density and hem structure.
- Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality padded hangers to maintain the shoulder shape. Ensure the tassel hem is hanging freely and not compressed under other garments to prevent creasing or tangling.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs well with minimal accessories, as the tassel hem and textured knit act as the focal points of the outfit. Match with neutral-toned heels to allow the purple hue to stand out.
- Handling: Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or bag hardware that could snag the intricate knit pattern.
