FAQs
What kind of bra should I wear with this dress?
Due to the cold-shoulder design, a strapless adhesive bra or a high-quality multi-way strapless bra is recommended to maintain a clean neckline.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, provided the venue is appropriate for a floor-length gown; however, be mindful of the hem length on grass or uneven terrain.
How should I clean the dress?
This garment must be professionally dry cleaned to protect the structural integrity and the material quality.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The dress is designed with a structured fit, meaning it offers minimal stretch. It is advised to follow the UK sizing chart closely.
Can I iron the abstract sleeves?
Direct ironing is not recommended as it may damage the fabric print; steaming is the preferred method for removing creases.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a professional garment steamer from a safe distance, avoiding direct contact with the corsage.
Difficulty with the zipper
Ensure the dress is fully cooled and dry before zipping, and check for any fabric caught in the teeth to prevent snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, always store it hanging on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the corsage. Due to the delicate nature of the abstract print and the sculptural neckline, do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry this garment. If wrinkles occur, use a low-heat steamer held at a distance, ensuring you do not apply direct heat to the corsage detail. Pair with strappy heeled sandals for a balanced silhouette.
