What type of formal occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for weddings, race days, graduation ceremonies, formal dinners, and other upscale evening or daytime events.

How should I accessorize this dress?

How do I care for the gold-tone hardware?

The hardware can be gently polished with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to maintain its luster.

Can this dress be altered?

What is the length of the midi dress?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after shipping.

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the gold-tone hardware. Alternatively, hang in a steamy bathroom.

Gold-tone hardware loses its shine.

Gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that could damage the finish.

Sizing feels slightly off.

Refer to the Karen Millen sizing chart for precise measurements. The tailored fit is designed to contour, so ensure you have selected the correct size based on your bust, waist, and hip measurements.
