FAQs
What occasions is this blouse suitable for?
This blouse is ideal for a range of occasions, from smart office wear to evening events, dinner dates, and formal gatherings. Its design offers both sophistication and a modern edge.
How should I size this blouse?
Refer to the size guide for Karen Millen garments. This specific blouse has a wrap detail that allows for some adjustment at the waist. The model is shown in Size 14.
Can I machine wash this blouse?
It is recommended to hand wash or dry clean this blouse due to the delicate nature of the slub organdie fabric. Machine washing may damage the material and structure.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
A seamless nude bra is recommended, especially under lighter parts of the fabric. Given the collared neckline and wrap style, most standard bras will be suitable.
How do I style the dramatic balloon sleeves?
The sleeves are designed to be a statement. They can be worn fully extended for maximum impact, or gently pushed up towards the elbow if desired. They pair well with slim-fitting trousers or skirts to balance the volume.
Is the fabric sheer?
The slub organdie fabric has a textured quality that provides some opacity. However, depending on the lighting and color, a camisole or appropriate undergarments might be preferred for complete coverage.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after washing
Ensure the garment is ironed on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat which can damage the slub organdie.
Sleeves lose their shape
Ensure the blouse is dried flat. Storing it folded rather than on a hanger may also help maintain the sleeve structure.
Minor pulls or snags in fabric
Handle with care to avoid snagging. For minor pulls, attempt to gently smooth them back into place. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor.
