Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance rather than a traditional iron to avoid damaging the stretch fibers.
Belt hardware feels loose
Check the internal tension points of the belt hardware. If the belt remains loose, consult a professional tailor to reinforce the attachment points.
Dress feels too tight around the shoulders
Ensure the garment is correctly aligned on the body. If discomfort persists, the structured shoulders may not be compatible with wider frame structures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen dress in optimal condition, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Fit Assessment: Given the tailored nature of the garment, ensure you consult a standard UK size chart to confirm the size 14 fit matches your measurements.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a high-quality, contoured wooden or padded hanger to preserve the shape of the shoulders and the structural integrity of the waist.
- Cleaning: Due to the tailored components and hardware on the belt, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent damage to the fabric or the metal details.
- Handling: Avoid over-stretching the fabric when putting it on to maintain the long-term elasticity of the cotton stretch blend.
