Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Iron the shirt on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a cool iron setting. Ensure proper drying according to care instructions.

Sizing feels slightly off.

Review the size chart provided by Karen Millen. Consider if the tailored fit and design features, like the cinched waist, affect the perceived fit. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a slightly looser feel.

Balloon sleeves do not hold their shape.

Ensure the sleeves are dried properly and ironed with attention to the gathered areas. Delicate handling during washing can also help maintain sleeve structure.
