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.
