Troubleshooting
Dress loses pleat definition after washing.
Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for preserving pleats. If hand washing, ensure minimal agitation and avoid machine wringing. Re-pleating may require professional tailoring.
Creases are difficult to remove.
Use a steam iron on a low setting, and always iron on the reverse side of the fabric. A pressing cloth can help protect the material. For stubborn creases, professional steaming might be necessary.
Sizing feels incorrect.
Refer to the Karen Millen size chart for accurate measurements. Compare your own measurements to the garment's specifications if available. Consider the fit of the bodice and the drape of the skirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a dress, there is no 'setup' in the technical sense. Its primary compatibility is with personal styling choices and occasions.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the delicate pleating and fabric, dry clean is recommended to maintain the dress's shape and integrity. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh wringing.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. For pleats, it is advisable to use a pressing cloth or iron between layers of fabric to preserve the pleat structure.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the fabric, especially around the shoulders and waist.
