FAQs

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Karen Millen size chart. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart to find your ideal size.

Can I wash this dress at home?

No, this dress should be dry cleaned only to maintain its shape and fabric quality.

What kind of shoes go best with this dress?

Pointed court shoes, heeled sandals, and smart leather trainers all work well, depending on the occasion.

What kind of undergarments should I wear?

A well-fitting bra and shapewear, if desired, can help to create a smooth silhouette.

How do I style this dress for a more casual look?

Pair it with smart leather trainers, a structured tote bag, and minimal jewellery.

Is the front split too revealing for the office?

The front split is subtle. However, you can consider wearing tights or a slip underneath for added modesty in a conservative office environment.

Troubleshooting

Dress fit is not as expected.

Review the size chart carefully and consider the fit. If necessary, consult the size guides provided and potentially size up or down depending on your measurements. Consider alterations for a perfect fit.

Fabric wrinkles easily.

Ensure the dress is hung properly after each wear. Use a steamer or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth.
