Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen Fluid Stripe Shirt Dress maintains its structure and shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Follow the care label instructions; generally, machine wash on a delicate cycle or hand wash to preserve the fabric integrity.
- Ironing: Due to the nature of cotton, a light steam or iron on a medium heat setting is recommended to keep the striped pattern sharp.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a sturdy hanger to prevent unnecessary creasing of the handkerchief hem.
- Styling Compatibility: The dress pairs well with minimal gold or silver accessories given the bold pattern of the garment.
