FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a structured bodice. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to refer to the size chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Due to the delicate cotton-silk blend, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the garment.
What kind of bra should I wear with the square neckline?
A strapless bra or a balcony-style bra with widely spaced straps is ideal to remain hidden beneath the square neckline.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The dress is primarily made of woven fabric with limited stretch, which contributes to its structured and polished silhouette.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are tie-style, allowing you to manually adjust the length at the shoulders to suit your height and preference.
What is the primary material?
The dress is crafted from a premium blend of cotton and silk, chosen for its softness, breathability, and drape.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps are loosening during wear
Ensure the bows are tied in a double knot for extra security and adjust the strap length before tying.
Wrinkles appearing in the skirt after transport
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes or use a handheld steamer on a low setting.
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with rough jewelry or sharp bag hardware to protect the delicate weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, prioritize proper care techniques. Given the delicate cotton-silk blend, it is strongly recommended to avoid harsh agitation or heat.
- Cleaning: Dry clean only is recommended to preserve the integrity of the pleating and the silk fibers.
- Storage: Hang the dress using padded hangers to prevent the weight of the voluminous skirt from distorting the shoulder seams.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron or a garment steamer held at a distance to remove wrinkles, taking care to avoid the contrast trim.
- Handling: When tying the shoulder bows, do so gently to avoid fraying the fabric edges.
