Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen tailored pencil midi skirt in red is designed for the modern woman seeking sophisticated style for professional and formal occasions. Its key benefit lies in its impeccable structure and flattering high-waisted, midi-length silhouette, enhanced by a contemporary front split. A minor caveat is the material, which, while containing elastane for comfort, may require careful handling due to its silk blend.

FAQs

What occasions is this skirt best suited for?

This skirt is ideal for professional settings, business meetings, formal events, and sophisticated evening wear.

How should I style the skirt for work?

Pair it with a crisp blouse, a tailored blazer, and court shoes for a polished office look.

Can I wear this skirt for casual outings?

While primarily designed for formal and professional wear, it can be dressed down slightly with a fine-knit sweater and ankle boots for a smart-casual aesthetic, though its tailoring leans towards more formal styling.

What is the benefit of the front split?

The front split adds a contemporary detail, offers subtle movement, and allows for greater ease of wear and walking.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is crafted from a blend that includes silk and a touch of elastane for comfortable wear and shape retention.

How do I clean the skirt?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality and structure of the silk blend fabric.

Does this skirt come in other colors or sizes?

This particular product is the red size 12. Please check other listings for available color and size variations.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning with proper pressing is advised.

Fabric feels stiff after washing (if hand-washed).

Ensure you used a very mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Gently stretch the fabric while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine drying.

Front split does not lay flat.

Ensure the skirt is correctly aligned and fitted. A slight adjustment in how the skirt is worn or a professional tailor's review might be necessary if the issue persists.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping slowly. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) applied to the zipper teeth might help, or consult a tailor.
