FAQs

What material is the shirt made from?

The shirt is crafted from a crisp cotton poplin woven fabric.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Karen Millen, paying close attention to measurements for UK dress sizes.

Can the pleated frills be ironed?

Yes, the pleats can be ironed on a medium heat setting. It is often best to iron them while the garment is slightly damp or by using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

What kind of occasions is this shirt suitable for?

This shirt is highly versatile. It's suitable for smart-casual daytime events, sophisticated work attire, or evening occasions when paired appropriately.

How does the regular fit work for styling?

The regular fit allows the shirt to be tucked neatly into high-waisted trousers or skirts, or worn untucked for a more relaxed aesthetic. Its length is designed for versatility.

Are there other colors available?

This specific product variant is described as White. Please check other listings for potential color variations.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure the shirt is ironed while slightly damp on a medium heat setting. For more stubborn creases, a garment steamer can be effective on the cotton poplin fabric.

Pleats losing their structure

Avoid over-washing or harsh drying methods. Consider professional pressing or carefully re-ironing the pleats following the garment's care label instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.

Gold-toned buttons tarnishing

Gently wipe buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or exposing them to excessive moisture. If tarnishing occurs, a mild metal polish applied carefully to the buttons only may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the crispness and shape of the cotton poplin and the integrity of the pleats, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. For best results, line dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Iron on a medium heat setting, paying attention to the frill details. Professional dry cleaning is also an option for preserving the fabric's quality.

Styling: This shirt is designed to be a focal point. It pairs well with tailored trousers, skirts, or dark denim. Consider the volume of the frills when choosing accompanying pieces to ensure a balanced silhouette. Its regular fit makes it suitable for tucking into high-waisted bottoms.
