Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles excessively

Ensure the garment is properly ironed on a cool setting while slightly damp. Consider professional dry cleaning for optimal wrinkle removal. Embrace the natural texture of linen blends.

Wrap front feels insecure

Adjust the self-tie waist belt to a tighter, more secure fit. Consider a small safety pin on the inside of the wrap for added security if needed.

Fabric appears dull after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. If hand washing, rinse thoroughly. If dry cleaning, ensure the service is reputable.

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the detailed size chart provided by Karen Millen. As this is a UK size 8, ensure you have measured accurately for bust, waist, and hip measurements.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
