FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, the dress must be dry cleaned only due to the delicate nature of the crystals and beads.

How should I store the dress?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger inside a garment bag to protect the delicate embellishments.

Does the bodice stretch?

The corset bodice is structured to hold its shape, so it does not have significant stretch. Please ensure you choose your correct UK size for the best fit.

What accessories do you recommend?

Because the bodice is highly detailed, we recommend minimal accessories such as simple stud earrings or subtle heels to let the dress stand out.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?

Yes, it is suitable for formal outdoor weddings, though you should be mindful of the skirt length on grass or uneven terrain.

Troubleshooting

Loose bead or crystal

If a bead becomes loose, carefully store it in a small bag and consult a professional tailor experienced with couture or embellished evening wear for reattachment.

Snagged thread on bodice

Do not pull the thread. Use a clean pair of small embroidery scissors to gently trim the excess, taking extreme care not to cut the surrounding fabric or bead attachment points.

Wrinkles in the skirt

Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle at a distance to avoid contact with the embellished corset section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-applied crystals and beads, do not attempt to wash this item in a standard washing machine.

  • Storage: Hang the dress on a high-quality, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the corset. Store it in a breathable garment bag to protect the embellishments from dust and potential snagging.
  • Care: Professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method for cleaning this garment to avoid damaging the beadwork or the structure of the bodice.
  • Handling: Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto the bodice, as the chemicals may dull the crystals or affect the fabric.
