Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in pristine condition, prioritize professional care or follow delicate wash cycles recommended for cotton embroidery. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may compromise the delicate cutwork. Because the dress is made of structured cotton, it is recommended to steam rather than iron directly over the embroidery to prevent flattening the texture. When selecting your size, refer to standard UK sizing conventions to ensure the waist-cinching features sit correctly on your frame.
