Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress retains its shape and luster, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always store on a padded hanger to prevent the spaghetti straps from stretching. Avoid wire hangers, which can damage the lace or cause pucker marks in the satin.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs best with seamless undergarments due to the bias cut, which can highlight texture changes underneath.
- Cleaning: Due to the mix of viscose satin and delicate lace, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Do not attempt to machine wash, as the heat and agitation may shrink or damage the lace inserts.
- Wrinkle Removal: If the dress arrives wrinkled, use a professional steamer from a distance. Never place an iron directly onto the satin or lace as it may cause burning or shiny spots.
