Full details
These Karen Millen tailored wide-leg trousers are designed for adult women seeking sophisticated and comfortable formal wear. The key benefit is their elegant blend of compact stretch fabric and delicate lace panel detailing, offering both a flattering silhouette and ease of movement. A potential caveat is the full-length cut, which may require hemming for individuals of shorter stature. Key features include a high-rise waistband, a sophisticated mix of textures, and a full-length cut with a dramatic floor-skimming effect, making them ideal for formal occasions, professional settings, and evening events.

FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a compact stretch fabric with elegant lace panel detailing. The specific blend is a mix that includes silk.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, paying close attention to UK dress sizing. The available sizes include UK 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16, among others.
Can these trousers be worn for everyday activities?
While the stretch fabric offers comfort, the tailored design and lace detailing are best suited for formal occasions, professional settings, or smart-casual events rather than very casual daily wear.
How should I wash these trousers?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended. A gentle machine wash on a low temperature is an alternative. Avoid tumble drying; air dry flat instead.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam is approximately 110cm, providing a full-length, floor-skimming effect.
Are the lace panels delicate?
Yes, the lace panels are delicate and require careful handling during washing, ironing, and wear to prevent snagging or damage.
What colors are available?
These specific trousers are available in White and Black, as indicated by the variant information.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too long
The trousers have a full-length cut (approx. 110cm inseam). Consider professional tailoring for a customized length, or pair with high heels to achieve the intended floor-skimming effect.
Lace detailing appears snagged or damaged
Handle with care during wear and washing. If a snag occurs, avoid pulling. Gently try to work the thread back into place or seek professional repair.
Creases are difficult to remove
Ensure trousers are ironed on a low heat setting, ideally inside out. Use a pressing cloth, especially over lace sections. Steaming is often more effective for this fabric blend.
