FAQs

What does 'Petite' collection mean?

The Petite collection is designed with shorter individuals in mind, meaning the proportions, including the length of the skirt and the placement of waistbands, are adjusted for a better fit on smaller frames.

How long is the skirt?

The midi-length skirt falls approximately 75cm from the waistband.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from a cotton-rich fabrication with a touch of elastane for comfort and a crisp, tailored finish.

How should I style this skirt for a formal event?

For a formal event, pair it with a silk blouse, statement jewelry, and block-heeled mules or elegant court shoes. The gold buttons add a touch of glamour.

Can I wear this skirt in cooler weather?

Yes, it transitions well into cooler months. Layer it with a fitted roll-neck sweater, tights, and ankle boots for a sophisticated autumnal or winter look.

What is the benefit of the button detail?

The distinctive double-column gold-tone button detail at the front waist adds a nautical-inspired, tailored character and acts as a statement feature, elevating the overall design.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The skirt features a cotton-rich fabric with a touch of elastane, providing some stretch for comfort and ease of movement while maintaining a structured shape.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the skirt on a low setting or opt for professional dry cleaning. Avoid high heat ironing.

Buttons feel loose

Carefully reinforce the button stitching by hand. If the issue persists or is significant, consult a professional tailor.

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the Karen Millen size guide for precise measurements. As this is a petite fit, ensure it aligns with your height proportions. Consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed.
