FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Karen Millen size chart or measure your bust, waist, and hips to compare with the size guide. Consider the stretch in the fabric when selecting your size.
What undergarments are best for the open back?
A stick-on bra, a bra with a clear back strap, or a strapless bra are excellent choices. Consider the level of support you need and the dress's neckline.
Can I wear this dress in colder weather?
Yes, but you may need to layer. Consider a denim jacket, a cardigan, or a stylish coat to stay warm. The sleeveless design makes it perfect for layering.
How do I care for stains?
Treat stains promptly. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the fabric. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended.
Can I alter the dress?
Yes, you can alter the dress. However, it is advisable to consult with a professional tailor to ensure the alterations do not compromise the dress's design or fit.
What type of shoes are best to wear with the midi dress?
The dress can be paired with various shoe styles, including heels, sandals, and trainers. Choose shoes that match the occasion and your personal style.
What accessories should I pair with this dress?
Delicate jewellery, a wide-brimmed hat, or a clutch can complement the dress. The boat neckline looks great with a pendant necklace. The choice of accessories depends on the occasion and your preferences.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The compact stretch fabric should allow for comfortable movement. If it still feels tight, consider sizing up.
Open back is revealing too much.
Choose a suitable undergarment that provides adequate coverage. Consider a stick-on bra or a bra with a clear back strap. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Dress wrinkles easily.
Hang the dress immediately after wearing. Use a garment steamer or iron on a low setting to remove wrinkles.
