The dress is designed to skim the body. It follows standard UK sizing, but if you prefer a less fitted look through the torso, some users may opt to size up.
No, due to the velvet material and the structural lining, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
The dress is designed with an architectural twist to remain secure, but it is best suited for formal events rather than high-activity situations.
Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to keep the silhouette elongated and to complement the flared hem.
The fabric features a soft, comfortable drape, but it is not a high-stretch knit, so please refer to your standard size for the best fit.
The dress is made of a viscose-rich velvet, which may feel warm. It is ideally suited for cooler weather, autumn, or winter events.
Lightly steam from the reverse side or hang in a humid environment away from direct heat to allow the fibers to recover.
Ensure the dress is stored properly on a high-quality hanger rather than draped over a chair or left on a floor.
To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to avoid hanger marks on the velvet pile. Do not fold the garment for extended periods, as this can crush the nap of the fabric. If the velvet appears flattened, hanging it in a steamy bathroom (without direct contact with water) can help the pile reset. Given the viscose-rich composition, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the material and the shape of the internal lining. Always check the internal garment care label for the most accurate, fabric-specific cleaning instructions.
