Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Cotton Broderie Belted Shirt Dress is designed for the adult female who appreciates artisanal quality and versatile styling. Its key benefit lies in its ability to transition seamlessly from casual daytime events to more formal occasions. A potential caveat is that the delicate broderie anglaise detailing requires careful handling and specific care to maintain its intricate appearance. The dress features all-over broderie anglaise with circular cutwork, a classic shirt collar, a button-through front, and a removable self-tie belt for silhouette definition. It includes dual chest patch pockets, a midi-length A-line skirt with a solid woven hem, and long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, offering a blend of tailored structure and delicate craftsmanship.

What material is the dress made of?

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. UK size 6 is listed for this specific variant.

Can I machine wash this dress?

While hand washing is recommended for longevity, you can machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a laundry bag. Avoid tumble drying.

Is the belt detachable?

Yes, the self-tie belt is removable, allowing you to style the dress with or without it, or with a different belt.

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and suitable for garden parties, summer lunches, al fresco dinners, and even as a wedding guest outfit when styled appropriately.

How do I style the dress for cooler weather?

You can layer a fine-knit cardigan over the shoulders or wear a light jacket or blazer over the dress.

Does the broderie anglais affect comfort?

The broderie anglaise is crafted from cotton, making the dress breathable and generally comfortable. The open lacework is concentrated in specific areas.

Troubleshooting

Broderie threads snagging

Carefully snip any snagged threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling the fabric.

Dress appears creased after washing

Ensure the dress is ironed on a low setting while slightly damp. Hanging it to dry can also minimize creasing.

Belt is difficult to tie smoothly

Ensure the belt fabric is pressed flat. If it feels stiff, a light iron can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the broderie anglaise, hand washing in cold water is highly recommended. Alternatively, use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a laundry bag.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight to air dry.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. It may be best to iron while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth over the broderie sections to protect the fabric.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
