FAQs
What is the material composition?
The dress is crafted from high-quality fabrics featuring a subtle stretch for comfort, specifically designed for a structured, tailored drape.
Is this dress machine washable?
No, given the architectural tailoring and cape detailing, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the garment structure.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit. We recommend checking your measurements against the standard UK sizing guide to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear a blazer over this?
Due to the cape overlay, standard blazers may be uncomfortable. A coordinated shawl or a tailored coat that fits over the shoulders is a better alternative.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Because the dress is fully lined, it offers good opacity, but seamless, nude-toned undergarments are always recommended for a smooth finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the cape overlay
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting or hang in a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles gently.
Fabric appearing dull
Avoid direct sunlight during storage and ensure the garment is kept in a breathable fabric garment bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen dress remains in pristine condition, it is vital to follow specific maintenance guidelines. Due to the tailoring and the nature of the fabric, we recommend strictly following the care label instructions, typically suggesting professional dry cleaning. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to ensure the cape overlay does not crease or lose its structured volume. Avoid storing in cramped spaces where the architectural elements might become compressed.
