Does the dress run true to size?
Generally, Karen Millen clothing runs true to size. However, we recommend consulting the specific size guide available for precise measurements.

The dress pairs well with a variety of footwear, including heels, ankle boots, and ballet flats. The choice depends on the occasion and desired look.
Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress and allow it to air out. If creases persist, use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with low heat.
Fabric feels stiff or loses its drape.
Ensure the care instructions (preferably dry cleaning) have been followed. Repeated improper washing can affect fabric texture.
Pussy bow is difficult to tie neatly.
Practice tying the bow loosely first, then adjust. Alternatively, wear the bow untied for a different, simpler look.
Sleeves look too voluminous.
The balloon sleeve design is intentional. Ensure the cuffs are fastened correctly to manage the volume. For a more fitted look, consider tailoring.
