Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen garment, follow these care and maintenance guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always hang the dress on a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured sleeves and bodice.
  2. Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's sheen and prevent water spotting.
  3. Pressing: Use a cool iron or a professional steamer from a distance. Avoid direct contact with hot metal surfaces to prevent scorching the satin fibers.
  4. Handling: Avoid wearing sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the satin weave.
  5. Fit: This dress follows standard UK sizing. Ensure you check your measurements against the specific UK 10 sizing to ensure the structured bodice fits correctly at the waist and chest.
