Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress looking its best, handle with care. Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash instructions; given the delicate nature of the linen-cotton blend and the contrast stitching, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent shrinkage or color distortion. If the garment becomes wrinkled from storage, use a steamer on a low-heat setting rather than a high-heat iron to protect the fabric integrity. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the spaghetti straps and the bodice structure. Ensure the garment is kept away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the white fabric from yellowing over time.
