Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Karen Millen Cutwork Shirt arrives ready to wear, though a light steam may be necessary after shipping to relax the cotton fibers. To ensure longevity, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle, preferably using a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate laser-cut sections from snagging on other items in the machine. Always avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the woven cotton to shrink or damage the fine embroidery work; instead, air dry flat or on a quality hanger to maintain the shirt's structural integrity. Because it features a regular fit, it is compatible with most standard high-waisted bottoms, though it works best when tucked in to accentuate the waistline.
