FAQs
Does this dress run true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a standard tailored fit. However, because it is a pencil silhouette, those between sizes may prefer to size up for comfort.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is recommended to refer to the specific care label on the garment. Generally, the tailored nature and metal hardware suggest professional dry cleaning.
What is the material composition?
The dress is crafted from a high-quality cotton-based compact stretch fabric designed to hold its structure.
Is the belt removable?
The belt is integrated into the design to ensure a consistent, intentional silhouette at the waist.
How long is the midi hem?
The hem typically falls to the mid-calf, designed to provide a professional, modest length suitable for office environments.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled or creased
Use a garment steamer at a safe distance or a cool iron on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on the metal belt hardware.
Belt hardware feels loose
Check the reverse of the belt to ensure the fastening pins or stitching are secure; if loose, a light reinforcement by a professional tailor is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Care Instructions: Always check the garment interior care label. Due to the structural nature of the fabric and metal hardware on the belt, dry cleaning is often recommended to preserve the integrity of the material and finish.
- Storage: Store on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Avoid folding the dress for long periods, as this can create permanent creases in the compact stretch fabric.
- Compatibility: This dress pairs exceptionally well with tailored blazers, classic trench coats, and minimalist leather accessories.
