FAQs

Can I wear this dress without the included belt?

Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to style the dress for a more relaxed, flowing fit.

Is the fabric see-through?

Due to the cutwork embroidery, we recommend wearing appropriate nude-tone undergarments for full coverage.

How should I store this dress?

Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, ensuring the garment is not crowded in your closet to prevent crushing the puff sleeves.

Does this dress run true to size?

The dress follows standard UK sizing, but since it is made of structured cotton, it is recommended to check your measurements against our size chart.

Is the dress suitable for autumn weather?

While the cotton fabric is ideal for spring and summer, it can be layered with a light jacket or trench coat for cooler transition days.

Troubleshooting

Creasing or wrinkling

Use a handheld garment steamer for the most gentle approach to smoothing out the cotton fabric.

Belt hardware losing luster

Gently polish the gold-toned hardware with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.

Minor snag in embroidery

Do not pull the thread. Use a small needle to carefully push the loop back through to the underside of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces that could snag the embroidery.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings.
  2. We recommend cold hand-washing or using the delicate cycle with a mesh laundry bag to protect the embroidery.
  3. Avoid using strong chemical bleaches that might affect the gold hardware finish.
  4. Air dry the dress on a hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and to maintain the structure of the puff sleeves.
  5. Use a low-heat setting if ironing is required, preferably covering the cutwork with a pressing cloth.
