It pairs well with metallic strappy heeled sandals and understated gold jewelry. A structured clutch bag can complete the polished look.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is recommended to hand wash the dress in cold water using a mild detergent to preserve the delicate satin crepe fabric. Avoid machine washing.

What is the fabric made of?

The dress is crafted from viscose satin crepe, which provides a smooth, subtly lustrous finish and elegant drape.

Does the dress run true to size?

Generally, Karen Millen dresses are designed to fit true to size. It is advisable to consult the brand's specific size guide for the most accurate fit.

How do I care for the floral print?

The care instructions for the fabric will also preserve the vibrancy of the print. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, opting for gentle hand washing and low-heat ironing.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side, using a protective cloth.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its sheen.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water for washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat during ironing, as these can damage the satin finish.

The keyhole neckline is not sitting correctly.

Ensure the dress is fastened properly and the fabric around the neckline is smoothed out. The twisted ruching at the waist helps to ensure proper fit and drape.
