Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the length of the skirt?

The skirt has a midi length of approximately 83cm.

Can I wash this skirt in a washing machine?

No, because the garment contains silk and features structural elements like pleats and studs, it should be dry cleaned only.

Is the skirt true to size?

The skirt is designed for a tailored fit. We recommend checking your specific measurements against the Karen Millen size guide for the best fit.

What material is it made of?

It is crafted from a high-quality silk-blend crepe, designed for durability and a smooth, polished drape.

How do I style the studded waistband?

The studded waistband is intended to be visible. Tuck in your tops, such as a ribbed roll-neck or a silk blouse, to showcase this design feature.

Is the skirt lined?

Yes, it is fully lined to provide a smooth finish and increase comfort during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing definition

Lightly steam the pleats from the inside using a garment steamer to restore their original structure.

Minor wrinkling from storage

Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or use a professional steamer on a low, delicate setting.

Studs catching on delicate fabrics

Ensure that delicate knitwear is tucked in properly or worn with a camisole layer to prevent friction against the waistband studs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both formal and smart-casual settings
  • Flattering midi length with an elongated silhouette
  • High-quality construction with full interior lining
  • Unique design elements like the asymmetric hem and studded waistband

Cons

  • Requires professional cleaning or delicate hand washing due to silk content
  • May require steaming to maintain pleat sharpness
  • Not suitable for machine washing or tumble drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your skirt retains its structured pleats and premium appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always hang the skirt using skirt hangers with clips to maintain the pleats and prevent sagging.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the silk content, dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the fabric's integrity and sheen.
  3. Steaming: If the pleats appear slightly flat after storage, use a handheld garment steamer from a safe distance to refresh the fabric; avoid high-heat ironing directly on the studs.
  4. Styling Compatibility: The high-waisted design works best when paired with tucked-in garments. Avoid bulky sweaters that may distort the clean lines of the structured waistband.
