Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Satin Tux Tailored Pleated Skirt in White, Size 22, is designed for the plus-size woman seeking an elegant occasion piece. Its key benefit is the sophisticated silhouette created by satin fabric and all-round pleating, offering graceful volume and a fluid movement. A potential consideration is that it's an occasion piece, so its versatility for everyday wear may be limited.

FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is designed as an occasion piece, perfect for weddings, graduation ceremonies, race days, formal parties, or any event where a polished and elegant outfit is desired.

How should I style this satin skirt?

It pairs well with a tucked-in button-through blouse and heels for a daytime event, or a silk camisole and a tailored blazer with heels for an evening occasion. Ensure your top complements the formal nature of the skirt.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from a satin-finish fabric, primarily 100% Polyester, with a 100% Polyester lining.

Does the skirt have any stretch?

The description does not mention stretch. The fit relies on the structured waistband and the cut of the garment, especially designed for a plus-size figure.

How do I care for the satin fabric and pleats?

Dry clean only is recommended to preserve the fabric's sheen and the integrity of the pleats. Iron on a cool setting on the reverse side if necessary.

Is this skirt suitable for everyday wear?

While the design is elegant, it's primarily intended as an occasion piece due to the luxurious satin fabric and formal styling. Its versatility for everyday wear is limited.

What sizes are available for this skirt?

This specific listing is for Size 22. Other sizes, such as Size 18, 20, and 24, are available as separate product variants.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Hang the skirt in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn creases.

Loss of sheen on the satin fabric.

This can occur with improper cleaning or ironing. Ensure only cool iron settings are used on the reverse side. For significant issues, consult a professional dry cleaner.

Pleats losing their crispness.

Pleat structure is best maintained through professional dry cleaning. Avoid washing or ironing at high temperatures, which can flatten pleats. Proper hanging storage is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: The skirt is designed to be paired with various tops and footwear. It can be styled with blouses, camisoles, blazers, and heels for formal or semi-formal events.

Care:
