FAQs

Is the fabric prone to stretching?

The dress is designed with a tailored, structured fit, so it is intended to maintain its shape rather than stretch over time.

Can I wear this to a black-tie event?

Yes, its refined silhouette and metallic quality make it highly appropriate for black-tie optional or formal occasions.

How should I store the puff sleeves?

Store it with sufficient space around the shoulders to prevent the puff sleeves from being compressed by other clothing items.

Does the dress run true to size?

The dress is cut for a tailored, precise fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend consulting the size guide or opting for the larger size to ensure comfort in the torso.

Is the fabric itchy against the skin?

The dress is fully lined to ensure that the metallic textured outer layer does not cause irritation against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Puff sleeves appear deflated after storage.

Gently shake and fluff the gathered areas. If necessary, lightly steam the interior of the sleeves to restore volume, ensuring you do not touch the outer metallic finish directly with high heat.

Minor wrinkling in the skirt area.

Hang the dress in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to allow the ambient steam to release creases, or use a steamer on a low setting from a safe distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Handling: When putting on the dress, be mindful of jewelry and sharp accessories to prevent snagging the metallic-textured fabric.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress in a breathable garment bag. Because of the sculptural sleeves, ensure there is enough space in your closet so the sleeves do not get crushed or flattened by other items.
  3. Cleaning: Consult the internal care label for specific instructions, but generally, garments with metallic fibers should be dry cleaned to prevent damage to the sheen and structural lining.
  4. Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with metallic-toned heels or minimalist strap sandals to keep the focus on the statement sleeves.
