FAQs
Does this dress have any stretch?
The dress is made from a woven twill fabric, which is designed for structure rather than stretch, so it will provide a more tailored fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the contrast collar and the woven twill construction, we highly recommend professional dry cleaning to avoid damaging the contrast elements or the fabric's structure.
What is the best way to store this dress?
Hang it on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the drape of the maxi length.
Is the collar detachable?
No, the contrast collar is a permanent design feature of this specific dress model.
How does the UK sizing run?
Karen Millen sizing is typically true to size for a tailored fit. If you are between sizes, consider your measurements against the brand's official chart.
Is this suitable for summer events?
The twill fabric is mid-weight, making it suitable for cooler weather or climate-controlled environments, but it may feel warm during peak summer heat.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon arrival
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to gently release wrinkles without applying direct heat to the collar.
Collar appears slightly misaligned
Ensure the garment is zipped or buttoned fully before hanging; verify that the weight of the dress is evenly distributed on a proper clothes hanger.
Fabric tension near the seams
This may indicate the size is slightly too small for your frame; avoid pulling or excessive movement to prevent stress on the woven fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses a high-quality woven material, maintaining its structure is critical. Always check the internal garment label for specific washing instructions, though dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the contrast collar. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a sturdy hanger to prevent creasing of the twill fabric. For sizing, the dress corresponds to standard UK sizing, and we recommend comparing your measurements against the Karen Millen size guide to ensure a perfect fit in the waist and shoulders, as the structured nature of the fabric offers little stretch.
