What is the fit of this dress?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival

Linen is prone to creasing. Gently steam the dress or iron on a low setting following care instructions to remove creases.

Lace-up back adjustment is difficult

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before attempting to tie. Have someone assist you for a tighter, more secure fit. Practice adjusting the tightness to find your preferred comfort level.

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the Karen Millen sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider the tailored fit; if between sizes, review the product description for fit recommendations or consult customer service.
