FAQs

What type of fabric is the blouse made from?

The blouse is crafted from 100% cotton, featuring intricate broderie anglaise detailing.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Karen Millen for accurate measurements. This blouse has a loose, relaxed fit.

Can this blouse be worn for formal events?

Yes, its sophisticated broderie detailing and refined design make it suitable for occasions like weddings or smart lunches, especially when paired with coordinating pieces.

Is the broderie pattern delicate?

The broderie anglaise is an artisanal detail that requires gentle care. Avoid harsh washing or snagging to maintain its intricate pattern.

How do I style the loose fit for a more defined silhouette?

You can tuck the blouse into high-waisted trousers or skirts, or layer it under a well-fitted blazer or cardigan to create a more defined shape.

What is the best way to store this blouse?

Store the blouse folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent creasing or snagging of the delicate fabric.

Troubleshooting

Broderie detailing appears snagged or pulled.

Gently try to ease the snagged thread back into place. Avoid pulling. If using a washing machine, ensure it's on a gentle cycle with a garment bag.

Blouse feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you have rinsed thoroughly to remove all detergent. Soften by tumble drying on a low heat setting with a couple of clean dryer balls, or by ironing while slightly damp.

White fabric appears less bright.

For stubborn stains on white cotton, consider a soak in a solution of cool water and a non-chlorine bleach alternative or a specialized white fabric brightener, following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
