Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Cutwork Tie Detail Woven Top is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a blend of artisanal craftsmanship and architectural structure for smart-casual occasions. Its primary appeal lies in the intricate cutwork embroidery and versatile waist-tie, offering a sophisticated look that transitions easily from daytime events to evening settings. While the structured cap sleeves provide a refined silhouette, potential buyers should note that as a pure cotton garment, it requires careful handling during laundry to maintain its shape and embroidery integrity.

FAQs
What is the best way to style this top?
Pair it with tailored trousers and gold jewellery for a refined look, or style with denim for a sophisticated but relaxed weekend ensemble.
Does the top fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed in a regular fit. Consult the size guide for UK size 6 specifics to ensure a comfortable silhouette.
Can I machine wash this garment?
It is recommended to use a delicate or hand-wash cycle to protect the artisanal embroidery from damage.
Is the material stretchy?
As it is crafted from woven cotton, the fabric does not have significant stretch. The structure relies on the tailoring rather than fabric elasticity.
How long is the top?
The top has an approximate length of 66cm, designed to sit perfectly at the hip.
Troubleshooting
Minor wrinkling after washing
Use a garment steamer while the fabric is slightly damp to gently relax wrinkles without pressing the embroidery flat.
Waist tie coming undone
Ensure the tie is knotted firmly; if the fabric feels slippery, a double knot provides a secure hold for the entire day.
Snagging on the cutwork
Avoid wearing rough textured jewellery or accessories that might catch on the embroidered details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen top retains its structure and embroidery quality, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water to protect the delicate cutwork embroidery from snagging or damage.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger to preserve the architectural shape of the cap sleeves. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the cotton to shrink or damage the embroidery threads.
- Ironing: Use a low-to-medium heat setting. If possible, steam the garment to smooth out wrinkles without applying direct pressure to the textured embroidery.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to ensure the structured cap sleeves do not lose their defined silhouette over time.
