FAQs

Is this dress machine washable?

No, due to the delicate fringe detailing, dry cleaning is strictly recommended to preserve the integrity of the tassels.

Does the dress fit true to size for petite frames?

Yes, this dress is specifically cut for petite proportions, though we recommend checking the size guide to match your measurements.

Can I wear a standard necklace with this dress?

Due to the busy texture of the fringe on the bodice, it is recommended to skip a necklace and opt for statement earrings instead.

Will the tassels fall off with normal movement?

While designed for movement, the trim is delicate. Some minor loss or breakage can occur over time with wear, so handle the garment with care.

What footwear pairs best with this dress?

Strappy heels or simple, elegant pumps allow the fringe to remain the highlight of the ensemble.

Troubleshooting

Tassels are becoming tangled.

Gently use your fingers to comb through the fringe, starting from the bottom and working upwards to detangle.

Individual tassels have become loose.

Do not pull loose tassels. If they are snagged, carefully untangle them from the base; if they have detached, have a professional tailor secure the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended due to the sensitive nature of the fringe. When storing, hang the dress in a garment bag to prevent the long fringe from tangling or catching on other items in your closet. Ensure it is hung on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion. For travel, carry the dress inside-out or in a protective flat garment bag to minimize friction and prevent the fringe from bunching or knotting during transit.
