FAQs

Is the skirt true to size?

Yes, the skirt is designed to standard UK sizing; however, since it is a tailored garment, we recommend checking your waist measurement against the Karen Millen size chart.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

No, due to the silk content and the structured pleats, machine washing is not recommended as it will likely damage the fabric and cause the pleats to lose their shape.

What is the total length of the skirt?

The midi length sits at approximately 83cm, depending on your height, this typically falls below the knee.

Does the studded waistband require special maintenance?

We recommend inspecting the studs after cleaning to ensure they remain secure and to avoid wearing very delicate fabrics over the waistband that might snag.

Is this skirt lined?

Yes, the skirt is fully lined to provide a smooth, polished drape and added comfort during extended wear.

What kind of top works best with this skirt?

Fitted tops like ribbed roll-necks or tucked-in blouses work best to highlight the waist detail and balance the volume of the pleats.

Troubleshooting

Pleats losing their crispness

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to have the pleats professionally pressed and set.

Snagging on the studded waistband

Ensure that delicate fabrics like fine knits are tucked in carefully and avoid wearing sheer hosiery that could catch on the metal studs.

Difficulty in achieving a proper fit

Ensure you are referencing standard UK size guides, as this tailored cut is designed to fit precisely at the waistline.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this skirt is crafted with silk-blend crepe, it is essential to follow specific care instructions to maintain its structure and longevity.

  1. Storage: Always hang the skirt using skirt hangers with clips to maintain the shape of the pleats and avoid creasing.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the silk fabric and studded hardware, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent damage to the pleat structure and the embellishments.
  3. Compatibility: This garment is designed for versatile styling. It is best paired with fitted tops to balance the volume of the pleated skirt. Avoid heavy, loose-knit sweaters that may distract from the studded waistband.
  4. Maintenance: If the skirt becomes slightly wrinkled during travel, use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting, ensuring you keep the steamer head at a safe distance from the metal studs.
