Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, adhere to the following care practices:
- Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality garment hangers that support the shoulders to prevent the woven fabric from stretching or losing its structured shape.
- Cleaning: Given the metallic or ornamental nature of the statement belt buckle, it is recommended to remove the belt before washing. Always consult the internal care label for specific temperature requirements; generally, a gentle cycle or professional dry cleaning is best for maintaining the shirred texture.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer to smooth out any wrinkles in the full skirt. Avoid direct contact of the iron on the shirred panels to prevent flattening the gathers.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs exceptionally well with block heels for a formal look or flat mules for a more casual, resort-ready sensibility.
