FAQs
What is the length of the dress?

Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is made from a structured fabric intended to hold its shape, meaning it has limited stretch compared to casual jersey dresses.
Is this dress fully lined?
Yes, the dress is fully lined to ensure a smooth, comfortable finish against the skin.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the tailored construction and structured fabric, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the quality and pleating.
What occasions are best for this dress?
It is ideal for weddings, graduation ceremonies, formal dinners, and summer races.
Does the bodice fit true to size?
The bodice is tailored for a structured fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend verifying your measurements to ensure comfort in the waist.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing in the fabric
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting; avoid using a hot iron directly on the structured fabric.
Skirt pleats losing definition
Have the garment professionally dry cleaned and ask for a 'refresh' of the pleats to restore the original silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in peak condition, consider the following care and sizing guidelines:
- Fit and Sizing: This garment is tailored; review your measurements against the UK size 14 specifications to ensure the bodice fits correctly as the fabric is designed to be structured rather than stretchy.
- Cleaning: Given the structured nature and the pleats, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric's integrity and shape.
- Storage: Always hang the dress on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and maintain the drape of the skirt.
- Steaming: Use a garment steamer at a low setting if necessary to release minor wrinkles, ensuring you do not press directly on the pleated sections with high heat.
