FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is highly versatile and suitable for various occasions, including garden parties, summer lunches, weddings (as a guest), dinners, and more casual elegant outings.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Karen Millen dresses. This specific garment is a UK size 8. Consider your bust, waist, and hip measurements for the best fit.

Can the belt be removed entirely?

Yes, the self-tie belt is removable, allowing you to wear the dress with or without it, or to substitute it with a different belt.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Given the broderie detailing, seamless or neutral-toned undergarments are recommended to avoid being visible through the fabric.

Is the dress lined?

The description does not specify lining. However, the midi-length A-line skirt with a solid woven hem border suggests a degree of opacity in that area. For the bodice and sleeves, consider the nature of broderie anglaise which typically has openwork.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is made from 100% Cotton, featuring all-over broderie anglaise detailing.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing.

Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting, ideally while it is still slightly damp. Alternatively, hang it on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Broderie detail appears snagged or pulled.

Carefully inspect the snagged area. Try to gently pull the surrounding fabric to ease the thread back into place. Avoid sharp objects. If the snag is significant, consult a professional tailor.

Belt is difficult to tie neatly.

Practice tying the belt using a flat surface or mirror. Ensure the fabric lies flat before tightening. You can tie it in a simple knot and then form a bow, adjusting the loops for an even finish.
