Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles appearing after travel

Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the steam to naturally release wrinkles from the linen fibers.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Linen often stiffens after washing; use a fabric softener or gentle steam iron to restore the natural softness of the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of your Karen Millen dress, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the garment on a contoured wooden or velvet hanger to keep the shoulder structure intact and prevent creasing.
  2. Cleaning: Always check the interior garment label. Due to the linen material, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original shape.
  3. Ironing: Use a steam iron on a linen setting to remove wrinkles. For best results, iron while the fabric is slightly damp or use a garment steamer for a quick touch-up before wear.
  4. Compatibility: This item is designed as a standard UK size 16. It fits best when paired with tailored blazers or structured handbags that complement its classic design.
