Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress on a padded hanger. Use a steamer on a low, cool setting, keeping it at a distance from the fabric, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.
Faux leather feels stiff.
This is normal for faux leather. Wear the dress to allow it to soften with body heat and movement. Avoid using oils or conditioners not specifically designed for faux leather, as they can damage the material.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Refer to the Karen Millen sizing guide and compare your measurements to the chart. Consider the tailored fit of a pencil dress when choosing your size.
