How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart for Karen Millen dresses. The darted waist offers some shaping, but for a perfect fit, consider consulting a tailor.
Can I wear this in warm weather?
Yes, the linen blend fabric provides natural texture and breathability, making it comfortable for warmer temperatures.
What type of undergarments should I wear?
Given the tailored nature and button-through front, seamless undergarments in a neutral color are recommended for a smooth silhouette.
How do I care for the linen blend fabric?
Dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cool water and mild detergent, and avoid wringing. Iron on a medium setting while damp.

Troubleshooting
Dress wrinkles excessively
This is characteristic of linen blends. For minor wrinkles, try hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom. For more significant wrinkles, iron on a medium setting while damp or use a steamer.
Fabric appears dull after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning or gentle hand washing methods. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive machine agitation.
Stitching comes undone
Minor loose threads can be carefully trimmed. For significant stitching issues, consult a professional tailor for repair.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: It is recommended to dry clean this dress to maintain the integrity of the linen blend fabric and its tailored structure. If hand washing is attempted, use cool water and a mild detergent, and avoid harsh wringing.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage linen fibers.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric's finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.
