FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress measures approximately 125cm in length.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress is made of satin and features internal boning, so it must be professionally dry cleaned only.

Does the dress have stretch?

The bodice is structured and boned to maintain its shape, meaning it has limited stretch. It is recommended to choose your size based on a standard fit.

What kind of bra should I wear with this?

Due to the square neckline and structured bodice, a strapless or adhesive bra is typically the best option to maintain the silhouette.

Is this suitable for a black-tie event?

Yes, its architectural silhouette and satin finish make it an ideal choice for black-tie events and formal ceremonies.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight around the ribcage

The dress features internal boning for a sculpted fit; ensure you are not wearing a bulky undergarment underneath that may interfere with the intended tailoring.

Visible wrinkles in the skirt

Use a professional garment steamer from a safe distance, or take the item to a dry cleaner for a professional press. Do not use a hot iron directly on the satin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculpted waist provided by internal boning
  • Sophisticated architectural design
  • High-quality satin fabric with a formal finish
  • Flattering A-line silhouette suitable for various body types

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning
  • Structured satin may wrinkle if not stored properly
  • Limited stretch due to the boned bodice construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, handle it with care to avoid snagging the satin fabric. Always hang the dress on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the structure of the bodice. Because of the delicate nature of the material and the internal boning, this garment should only be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid exposing the fabric to perfume or body oils, as these can cause discoloration on the satin surface over time.
