FAQs
How should I store this dress to protect the fringe?
Store the dress hanging vertically in a breathable garment bag, ensuring the fringe is not compressed against other clothing items.
Can I iron this dress?
Direct heat should be avoided on the beaded and embroidered sections. If needed, use a professional garment steamer from a distance, focusing only on the plain woven areas.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a structured woven construction. It is recommended to consult the Karen Millen size guide to ensure the fit matches your measurements.
What type of undergarments work best?
Because of the halter neck and fitted bodice, a backless or adhesive bra is recommended for a seamless finish.
Can the length be altered?
Yes, but due to the tiered fringe construction, alterations should only be performed by a professional tailor experienced in working with layered formal wear.
Troubleshooting
Fringe appears tangled after storage
Gently shake the garment while hanging and use a wide-tooth comb or soft brush to carefully smooth out individual fringe layers.
Loose thread detected on embroidery
Do not pull the thread. Carefully trim it with small embroidery scissors or take it to a professional tailor to have it secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gown, always step into the dress rather than pulling it over your head to protect the delicate beadwork at the waist. Given the intricate nature of the embroidery and the fringe construction, this garment must be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewelry, or handbag clasps that could snag the fringe threads. When storing, keep the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent the fringe from tangling or crushing during long periods of inactivity.
