FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a sculpted fit. It is recommended to consult the standard Karen Millen UK sizing guide for the most accurate fit based on your measurements.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the intricate sequin embellishment, this garment should be professionally dry cleaned to prevent damage to the lining and embroidery.
What type of bra works best with this dress?
The halter neck and open back design work best with adhesive silicone cups or backless solutions that provide support without visible straps.
Can the hem be altered?
Altering a handkerchief hem is a complex process. It is highly recommended to consult a professional seamstress who specializes in formal wear if any adjustments are needed.
Is the dress heavy to wear?
The fully lined sequin construction does add some weight compared to a standard fabric dress, but the structure is balanced to ensure it remains wearable for evening events.
Troubleshooting
Loose sequins found after event
Carefully collect any detached sequins; the dress construction typically includes spare sequins, or you can have a tailor reinforce them using a fine thread.
Fabric snagging
Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges or prongs that might catch on the sequin embellishments; if a thread pulls, do not cut it, as this may lead to further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dress, professional cleaning is strongly recommended to protect the integrity of the sequins and the lining. When putting on the dress, handle the sequin fabric gently to avoid snagging on jewelry or rough textures. Due to the halter neck design, consider using seamless undergarments or adhesive support to maintain the integrity of the open-back look. Store the garment hanging in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight and sharp items that could catch the embroidery.
