FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
This garment should only be professionally dry cleaned to preserve the quality of the tulle and the integrity of the tiered construction.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the off-the-shoulder neckline, a strapless bra or adhesive cups are recommended for the best look.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
The tulle is generally resistant to heavy creasing, but it should be hung properly to ensure the tiers remain smooth.
Is this suitable for outdoor weddings?
While appropriate for the event, be mindful of the floor-sweeping hem on grass or gravel surfaces to protect the tulle.
How should I store the dress long-term?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place inside a breathable fabric garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and fabric stress.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing, but the defined waistband offers a tailored fit, so please refer to size charts if you are between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Tulle layers appear flat or clumped
Gently shake out the layers individually to separate the tulle and restore the intended volume.
Minor wrinkling on the bodice
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid heat damage.
Snag in the tulle fabric
Do not pull the snag; take the garment to a professional tailor to have the thread carefully rewoven or trimmed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, always store it hanging in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue fabric. Given the delicate nature of the tulle, avoid wearing sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the fabric. Compatibility with undergarments is best achieved with a strapless bra or specialized adhesive cups to maintain the clean line of the off-the-shoulder neckline. Due to the intricate construction, this garment must be dry cleaned by a professional service familiar with delicate evening wear.
