Full details
The Karen Millen Cutwork Shirt is designed for the modern adult woman who values a polished, artisanal aesthetic in her wardrobe. Offering a versatile silhouette that works just as well for office wear as it does for garden parties, its key strength lies in its intricate laser-cut detailing and high-quality cotton construction. However, due to the delicate nature of the openwork patterns, users should take extra care during the laundering process to maintain the garment's structure.

FAQs
Is the fabric sheer?
The shirt is made of cotton, but the cutwork sections create open patterns; consider wearing a tonal camisole underneath if you prefer more opacity.
Does this shirt run true to size?
Yes, this shirt is cut in a regular fit and generally follows standard UK dress sizing conventions.
Can I wear this for a formal event?
Absolutely. The refined laser-cut detailing gives it an artisanal finish that fits well in semi-formal and elegant daytime occasions.
Is the material machine washable?
It is, but it is highly recommended to use a protective laundry bag and a delicate cycle to preserve the intricate detailing.
What colors does this shirt come in?
The shirt is available in several colors including white and blue variants across different sizes.
How should I store this shirt?
It is best stored on a hanger to keep the collar structure intact and prevent deep creasing in the delicate cutwork areas.
Troubleshooting
Threads appearing around the cutwork edges
Use sharp, small fabric scissors to carefully trim any stray threads; avoid pulling them, as this may unravel the surrounding embroidery.
Wrinkling after washing
Smooth the garment out while it is slightly damp and hang immediately to dry; use a steam iron on low settings to release stubborn creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen Cutwork Shirt maintains its quality over time, please observe the following care recommendations:
- Washing: Due to the delicate laser-cut patterns, it is highly recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on other items.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying, which can damage the intricate cutwork. Instead, lay the shirt flat or hang it on a shaped hanger to air dry in the shade.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting. When ironing, cover the cutwork areas with a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat contact with the laser-cut edges, which could cause fraying or melting of fibers.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs best with high-waisted bottoms to complement the shirt's structured length and can be layered under sweaters or jackets for colder weather.
