FAQs
What is the best way to determine the correct size?
Refer to the Karen Millen size guide and consider the bodycon fit of the dress. Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare them to the size chart provided.
Can I machine wash the dress?
Always check the care label. Some knit fabrics can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but hand washing is often recommended to preserve the fabric's quality.
What kind of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Shapewear or seamless undergarments are recommended to create a smooth silhouette. A strapless bra or a bra with convertible straps can also be helpful.
How do I prevent the metallic hardware from tarnishing?
Avoid exposing the dress to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions. Store the dress in a cool, dry place.
What kind of shoes pair well with this dress?
Heels, such as stilettos or pumps, are great for a formal look. For a more casual style, you can pair it with ankle boots or flats.
How can I remove wrinkles from the dress?
Use a steamer on a low setting, or iron the dress inside out on a low setting with a pressing cloth.
Is the dress suitable for all seasons?
The dress is versatile and can be worn in multiple seasons. In colder months, pair it with tights and a coat. In warmer weather, wear it as is or with a light jacket.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears too tight.
Check the size guide and consider the bodycon fit. If necessary, consider a size up for a more comfortable fit.
Fabric snagging or pulling.
Be cautious of sharp objects and jewelry. If a snag occurs, try to gently pull it back through to the inside of the garment or consult a professional tailor.
