FAQs

What is the length of this dress?

This midi dress has a length of approximately 122cm from the neckline to the hem.

Is this dress suitable for a wedding?

Yes, its tailored aesthetic and sophisticated design make it an excellent choice for wedding guests.

How should I clean this garment?

Due to the delicate nature of satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Does the dress have any stretch?

As a tailored piece made from satin, it is designed for a structured fit and has limited stretch compared to jersey or knit fabrics.

Are the pockets functional?

The two patch pockets are designed as architectural details and are best kept empty to maintain the dress's clean silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Small snag or pull in the satin fabric

Do not pull at the thread; use a fine needle to gently feed the snag back through to the inside of the fabric.

Wrinkling during storage or travel

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the satin fabric and the tailored structure. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the garment is kept in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust or snagging. Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges that could compromise the satin finish. For a perfect fit, consider the specific UK sizing, and note that the tailored construction means there is minimal give in the fabric.
