FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed for a standard fit, but the self-tie belt allows for minor adjustments to the waistline.
Can this dress be machine washed?
While it is best to dry clean or hand wash, you may use a gentle machine cycle inside a protective garment bag.
What kind of shoes match this dress?
Strappy heeled sandals or elegant block heels complement the midi length and tiered design perfectly.
Is the fabric heavy?
No, it is made from cotton, which is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for the warmer months.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress is crafted to provide coverage, but due to the cutwork, wearing skin-toned seamless undergarments is recommended.
How long is the dress?
The dress falls to an elegant length of approximately 139cm.
Troubleshooting
Creasing after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer from a slight distance to gently release wrinkles without crushing the embroidery.
Belt slips during wear
Ensure a double knot is tied at the back or side, or use a small hidden safety pin inside the belt loop to anchor it.
Snagged thread in embroidery
Use a fine needle to gently pull the snagged thread back to the reverse side of the fabric; do not cut the thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress lasts, focus on proper storage and maintenance. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the tiered ruffle sleeves. Given the nature of the cutwork embroidery, avoid machine washing on heavy cycles; use a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate setting, or opt for hand washing in cool water. Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the green pigment of the fabric. Ironing should be done on a low temperature setting, preferably with a pressing cloth between the iron and the embroidered areas to prevent damage to the intricate floral motifs.
