Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a professional-grade handheld steamer from a safe distance; do not apply a direct iron to the satin surface.

Static cling occurs while wearing

Apply a light mist of anti-static spray to the underside of the fabric or use a damp hand to lightly smooth the lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, adhere strictly to the care label. As it is crafted from 100% viscose satin, it should be professionally dry cleaned to avoid fabric damage or shrinkage. When storing, ensure it is hung on a velvet or padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion, and keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is best achieved with seamless undergarments due to the fitted nature of the bodice.
