FAQs
What material is this top made from?
This garment is crafted from 100% cotton, chosen for its breathability and structure.
How does the size fit?
The top is designed with a regular fit and follows standard UK sizing; it is recommended to purchase your usual size.
Can I wear this in the evening?
Yes, the sophisticated cutwork detail and structured shoulders make it an excellent choice for smart-casual evening gatherings.
Does the belt come off?
The tie belt is intended to be a permanent feature of the design to allow for silhouette adjustment.
Is the fabric see-through?
While it is made from quality cotton, the nature of cutwork means it has small decorative holes. Depending on the color chosen, wearing a neutral-toned camisole underneath is recommended for complete opacity.
Troubleshooting
The top looks wrinkled after washing
Use a steamer or an iron on a low setting to gently smooth out the cotton fibers while the garment is slightly damp.
Embroidery threads have snagged
Do not pull at the threads. Use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim any loose ends close to the base fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen top, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the cutwork embroidery, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If washing at home, use a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
- Ironing: Iron on a low to medium heat setting, preferably while the fabric is slightly damp, to remove wrinkles without flattening the texture of the embroidery.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured cap sleeves.
- Compatibility: This regular-fit top fits true to size. It pairs best with minimalist jewelry that does not catch on the intricate embroidery work.
