Small snag or loose lace thread

Ensure the lace fabric is pulled taut away from the zipper track before attempting to move the slider, and never force it if caught.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Given the lace material, store the dress in a breathable garment bag to protect it from snags in your wardrobe. When preparing for an event, check that all zippers are clear of lace before dressing. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions strictly, typically recommending professional dry cleaning to preserve the integrity of the floral lace and the ruffle hem structure. Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or bag hardware that could pull at the delicate lace fabric.
