FAQs
What occasions are these shorts suitable for?
These shorts are versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, from garden parties and brunches to casual outings and evening events when styled appropriately.
How do I ensure the broderie detailing lasts?

Can these shorts be worn in very hot weather?
Yes, they are made from breathable cotton, making them comfortable for warm weather.
What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?
The shorts are designed for a flattering fit. Consult the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements. If between sizes, consider the desired fit; a slightly larger size might offer more comfort if the waist fit is a concern.

Generally, Karen Millen items fit true to size. Referencing the specific size chart provided by the retailer for UK size 12 will give the most accurate guidance.
Can I wear these shorts for active pursuits?

Troubleshooting
Broderie is snagged or pulled
Gently try to ease the snagged thread back into place. Avoid pulling. If significant, consider professional garment repair.
Color bleeding after washing
Ensure the shorts are washed separately or with very similar colors in cold water. Use a color catcher sheet if concerned.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure fabric softener was not used excessively, as it can sometimes affect natural fibers. Try a light tumble dry on low heat.
