FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Professional dry cleaning is recommended to ensure the tailored structure and the pleats are maintained properly.
Can I iron this dress?
Use a low-heat setting or a steamer. Avoid direct contact with high heat on the pleated sections, as it can melt the pleats.
Is the fabric breathable?
The dress is made from polyester, which is durable and holds shape well but is less breathable than natural fibers like cotton or silk.
What size should I choose?
The dress is available in UK sizes ranging from 6 to 18. Refer to standard Karen Millen size charts to find your best fit.
Is this suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the midi length is excellent for outdoor settings as it is long enough for formality but short enough to keep the hem away from grass or dirt.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flattened after storage
Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the steam to gently relax the fibers, then smooth the pleats by hand.
Static cling caused by polyester material
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, proper care is essential. Because the garment features intricate pleating, it should be stored hanging on a sturdy, non-slip hanger to maintain the folds' vertical integrity. Avoid folding the skirt section, as this can create permanent creases in the polyester fabric. When traveling, use a garment bag to prevent snagging. For cleaning, check the interior garment label for specific laundering instructions, though professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the internal tailoring and the shape of the pleats.
