Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karen Millen garment retains its beauty, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always hang the dress on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent shoulder bumps and to preserve the structure of the tailored bodice.
  2. Wrinkle Management: If the satin develops light wrinkles during travel, use a garment steamer on a low, gentle setting at a safe distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as this can damage the satin fibers.
  3. Cleaning: Due to the tailored nature and satin material, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid spot cleaning, as moisture can leave marks on satin fabric.
  4. Handling: Avoid contact with rough jewelry or abrasive surfaces that could snag the delicate satin weave.
