FAQs
What material is the Karen Millen shirt made of?
The shirt is crafted from 100% pure cotton sateen, which provides a subtle lustre and a smooth feel.
How should I wash this shirt?
Dry cleaning is recommended to best preserve the fabric's quality and finish. Alternatively, a very gentle hand wash in cold water can be used, followed by air drying and low heat ironing.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, this shirt is designed for a regular fit and is true to size for a UK Women's 12.
What occasions is this shirt suitable for?

How can I style the volume sleeves?
The volume sleeves create a statement. They can be paired with slim-fit trousers or skirts to balance the silhouette, or tucked into high-waisted bottoms. For a more formal look, they can be layered under a fitted blazer.
What does 'cotton sateen' mean?
Cotton sateen is a weaving technique that results in a fabric with a smooth, lustrous surface on one side and a duller finish on the other. It offers a luxurious feel and appearance similar to satin but is made from cotton fibres.
Troubleshooting

Hang the shirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or iron on a low heat setting (inside out) while slightly damp.
Fabric loses its lustre.
Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning or gentle hand washing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
