What is the best way to care for the velvet and jacquard fabric?
The recommended care is dry clean only. Avoid washing at home, as this can damage the delicate textures of the velvet and jacquard.

Troubleshooting
Creasing in velvet sections.
Gently steam the velvet sections on a low setting from the reverse side. Avoid direct heat. If significant, professional dry cleaning with expert pressing is advised.
Jacquard pattern appears dull.
Ensure the garment is clean. Sometimes, dust or residue can affect the sheen. Professional dry cleaning will restore vibrancy.
Fit is not as expected.
Refer to the Karen Millen size chart for precise measurements. If alterations are needed, consult a professional tailor experienced with delicate fabrics.
Velvet bow is misshapen.
Carefully reshape the velvet bow by hand. If needed, use a very low heat setting on an iron on the reverse side, taking extreme care not to flatten the pile.
