Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, prioritize professional dry cleaning due to the structural elements and decorative buttons. When storing, always hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder bodice and to prevent the pleated skirt from flattening. Avoid folding the garment for long periods to prevent unwanted creasing in the stretch fabric. If minor surface wrinkles occur, use a light steamer at a distance, ensuring you do not apply direct heat to the decorative hardware or the fabric's specialized finish.
