Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Cotton Broderie Short Sleeve Blouse is designed for the modern woman seeking sophisticated yet effortless style. Its key benefit is the exquisite cotton broderie anglaise fabrication offering a beautifully textural and refined aesthetic. A potential caveat is its loose, relaxed fit which, while versatile, may require careful styling to suit more structured occasions. The blouse features an intricate fan-shaped cutwork pattern, scalloped edges, a classic point collar, and a button placket front, combining expert craftsmanship with a comfortable, loose silhouette.

FAQs

What material is the blouse made from?

The blouse is crafted from 100% cotton broderie anglaise.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK women's dress sizing. The blouse has a loose fit, so consider your preferred drape when choosing between sizes.

Can this blouse be worn for formal occasions?

Yes, its intricate detailing and refined fabric make it suitable for dressier daytime events, especially when paired with coordinating pieces or smart trousers/skirts.

How do I care for the broderie detailing?

Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Air dry flat and iron on a low heat setting, taking care around the embroidered areas.

What type of bra is best to wear with this blouse?

A seamless bra in a neutral color is recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette underneath the broderie anglaise.

Is the blouse sheer?

The broderie anglaise provides texture and coverage, but the cotton fabric itself can be somewhat sheer. Depending on personal preference and lighting, a camisole may be desired for added modesty.
