FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing guidelines. We recommend consulting a size chart if you are between sizes, as the waist can be cinched with the sash.
What undergarments are best for this dress?
Due to the halterneck and open-back design, a backless or adhesive bra is recommended for a seamless look.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it may shrink the cotton fabric and damage the delicate cutwork detailing.
Is the fabric see-through?
The dress is designed with high-quality cotton intended for modesty, though the cutwork pattern provides some transparency depending on lighting conditions.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress is approximately 131cm in length, which typically results in a midi-length fall for most adults.
Troubleshooting
Sash belt feels loose or keeps sliding
Ensure you are double-knotting the sash or using a more friction-heavy knot style to keep it secured throughout the day.
Small threads appearing near cutwork
Use sharp, precision embroidery scissors to carefully trim any stray threads, but do not pull them as this can unravel the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen garment, follow these care instructions carefully. Given the delicate nature of the cutwork and broderie detailing, it is recommended to opt for professional dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash in cool water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric as this can damage the intricate patterns.
Store the dress hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the cotton from wrinkling excessively. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and ideally a protective cloth between the iron and the dress to protect the texture. The dress is best paired with neutral-toned footwear to complement the vibrant green colorway.
