Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Consult the specific size chart for the Karen Millen Maxi Dress. Ensure accurate body measurements are taken before purchasing. If the fit is still an issue, consider if alterations are needed or if a different size from the available range would be more suitable.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing

Iron the dress on a low setting while it is still slightly damp, or use a garment steamer. Ensure the 'cool iron' setting is used as per care instructions to avoid damaging the cotton.

Strap adjustment is difficult

Gently pull the strap through the adjustment sliders. If the fabric is bunched, try to smooth it out before readjusting. If the sliders are stiff, a small amount of fabric-safe lubricant could be applied with caution.
