FAQs
What is the length of the dress?
The dress is designed at a midi length of approximately 142cm.
Is the material stretchy?
The dress is crafted from a woven satin, which is generally structured rather than stretchy; ensure you select the appropriate size for a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the delicate nature of the satin and the construction of the contrast panels, we recommend professional dry cleaning only.
Is the dress suitable for an outdoor wedding?
Yes, the fully lined, midi-length design is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor formal ceremonies.
Does the dress include a belt?
No, the dress is designed with an expertly seamed, fitted waist, meaning no belt is necessary to achieve the silhouette.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Because the dress is fully lined and features a high neck, standard seamless undergarments are usually sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the satin
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid water spots.
Static cling affecting the flow of the skirt
Apply a light mist of water or a dedicated anti-static spray to the lining, or use a steamer to introduce slight humidity.
Snag in the woven fabric
Do not cut the snag; use a needle to carefully pull the thread back to the reverse side of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, proper care is essential. Given the premium woven satin material and intricate contrast panelling, dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric's luster and the garment's structural integrity. When storing, use a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the fluted sleeves and avoid crushing the fabric in cramped closet spaces. Avoid contact with harsh jewelry or rough surfaces that could cause pulls in the satin weave. Before wearing, steam the dress gently at a low temperature to remove any wrinkles sustained during transit, ensuring the teardrop cutout and waist seams sit perfectly flat against the body.
