Troubleshooting

Sizing is incorrect

Refer to the detailed size chart provided by Karen Millen and compare your measurements. If possible, try on different sizes to ensure the best fit.

Buttons appear loose

Gently check the security of the buttons. If loose, they may require minor reinforcement with a needle and thread. Avoid excessive pulling on the buttons.
