The Karen Millen Tailored Buckle Detail Pleated Midi Skirt is a sophisticated addition for the modern wardrobe, ideal for individuals seeking a polished look for office wear or evening events. Its primary benefit lies in its expert construction, featuring an asymmetric layered waistband and deep knife pleats that provide elegant movement without adding unwanted bulk at the hip. A key caveat to note is that due to the specialized satin construction and structured buckle hardware, this garment requires careful handling to maintain its precise shape and finish.

No, due to the delicate satin material, structured lining, and metal hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
The skirt is designed as a tailored piece; please refer to standard UK sizing charts, keeping in mind that the lined construction offers minimal stretch.
Yes, the midi length is calibrated to sit below the knee to help lengthen the appearance of the leg rather than overwhelming a petite silhouette.
The skirt is crafted from high-quality satin, chosen for its smooth finish and ability to hold deep pleat structures.
Yes, the satin fabric is lightweight, though the full lining adds a layer of warmth that is best suited for temperate climates or air-conditioned environments.
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to have the pleats professionally pressed.
Check the reverse side of the hardware for any securing threads; if detached, have a tailor reinforce the stitching to ensure the hardware stays anchored.
Use a light application of an anti-static spray on the inside lining or ensure the skirt is stored away from high-friction materials.
To maintain the integrity of the garment, ensure it is hung on a proper skirt hanger to prevent the pleats from flattening or wrinkling. Given the satin material and metal hardware, it is highly recommended to follow the garment's internal care label, typically requiring professional dry cleaning. When storing, ensure the buckle is not pressing against other delicate fabrics to avoid snagging. This piece is most compatible with fitted tops, such as tucked-in collared shirts or base-layer roll-necks, which allow the unique waistband design to remain visible and fully appreciated.
