FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for summer weddings, garden parties, elevated daytime events, and other occasions that call for sophisticated and feminine attire. It can also be styled for evening events.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for Karen Millen. Measure your bust, waist, and hip circumference and compare these to the chart. Given this is a UK size 14, checking precise measurements is recommended.

Can the belt be removed?

Yes, the wide belt is designed to be worn with the dress but can be removed and styled with other outfits, or the dress can be worn without it.

What type of undergarments are best with this dress?

A seamless bra in a nude or matching tone is recommended. Depending on the opacity and fit, shapewear might enhance the silhouette further. Consider strapless or convertible bra styles if concerned about sleeve openings.

Is the cotton poplin fabric stretchy?

Cotton poplin typically has minimal to no stretch. The fit relies on the garment's cut and the provided belt for shaping.

What is the approximate length of the dress?

The midi length is approximately 135cm from the shoulder to the hem.

How should I care for the embroidered and lace details?

Handle with care. Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle. Iron on low heat and avoid harsh chemicals or tumble drying to preserve the intricate details.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery threads snagging

Carefully trim any snagged threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on the threads.

Lace trim becoming creased

Gently steam the lace trim or iron on a very low setting with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat.

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure the dress is hung or laid flat to dry promptly. Iron on a low setting as per care instructions.

Belt buckle feels loose

Check if the buckle has a fastening mechanism that can be tightened. If it appears defective, contact customer service.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate embroidery and lace, hand washing in cool water is recommended. Alternatively, use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a mild detergent, preferably in a mesh laundry bag.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel or drying rack to air dry, reshaping it while damp.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. It is advisable to iron the dress inside out, especially over the embroidered and lace areas. A pressing cloth can provide extra protection.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging is recommended to maintain the dress's shape and prevent creasing, particularly in the skirt.
