How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts and compare your measurements to the specific size guide provided by Karen Millen. This guide focuses on size UK 16.
What is the care instruction for the fabric?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress on a sturdy hanger in a steamy bathroom for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it a safe distance from the fabric, or iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
Cape detail is not draping correctly.
Ensure the dress is being worn correctly and that the cape is settled on the shoulder. Gentle steaming can help reset the fabric's drape. Check that the garment's lining is not twisted.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
If the care label allows for machine washing, ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Fabric conditioner might help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first or consult a professional dry cleaner.
