Troubleshooting

Applique embroidery snagged

Do not pull at the embroidery. Carefully inspect for loose threads and take to a professional tailor to have the applique secured.

Wrinkles in the organdie overlay

Use a low-heat steamer held at a distance. Avoid direct iron contact with the organdie overlay as it is prone to heat damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your Karen Millen dress, always check the internal care label. Given the presence of delicate applique and organdie, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the embroidery’s shape and the fabric’s sheen. Avoid contact with abrasive jewelry or rough surfaces that could snag the sheer overlay. When storing, hang the dress using padded hangers to prevent the weight of the fabric from distorting the spaghetti straps or the neckline draping.
