Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles upon unpacking

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes or use a garment steamer on the lowest setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in pristine condition, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always store the garment on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion or creases from sharp edges.
  2. Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of satin viscose, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the smooth finish and structural integrity of the fabric.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron or a steamer at a low setting. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the fabric does not watermark or snag.
  4. Handling: Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewellery, or accessories that may cause the satin to pull or pill.
