FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Karen Millen size chart, and measure yourself to ensure the best fit. Consider your bust, waist, and hip measurements.

Can I machine wash the dress?

Check the care label; machine washing may be permissible. However, dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the fabric's quality and shape.

What undergarments are best for the open back design?

A strapless bra, a stick-on bra, or a backless bra are ideal for this dress. Consider your comfort and the level of support needed.

How do I style the dress for a more formal occasion?

Pair the dress with heels, elegant jewellery, and a clutch. Consider adding a tailored jacket or a shawl for extra sophistication.

Is the dress suitable for all body types?

The full skirted silhouette is generally flattering for many body types. However, consider the fit through the bust and waist to ensure comfort.

What type of shoes are appropriate for the dress?

The dress can be styled with various shoes, including sandals, trainers, heels, or boots, depending on the occasion.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The compact stretch fabric should allow for comfortable movement, but consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.

Open back detail is not sitting correctly.

Adjust the dress carefully, ensuring the straps are in place. Consider using fashion tape for additional support.
