FAQs

What does 'compact viscose' mean?

Compact viscose refers to a densely woven fabric that offers more structure and weight than standard viscose, providing a more formal and durable finish.

Is this skirt suitable for everyday wear?

While it can be worn for smart-casual occasions, its structure and length make it best suited for formal or semi-formal events.

How should I store this skirt?

Hang it vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent the hem from losing its shape.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The compact viscose is designed for structure rather than stretch, providing a tailored fit rather than a loose one.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

We strongly recommend adhering to the care label, which typically advises professional dry cleaning for this material to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing after sitting

Gently steam the garment from a distance, ensuring not to let the iron plate touch the fabric directly.

Fabric appearing dull after long-term wear

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to refresh the finish and restore the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen garment, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Always refer to the internal care label. Given the composition of compact viscose, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the structure and prevent shrinkage.
  2. Storage: Hang the skirt using clips or a skirt hanger to prevent unnecessary creasing. Do not store folded for long periods as this can distort the tailored shape of the fishtail hem.
  3. Compatibility: This skirt fits best with form-fitting tops that can be tucked in to maintain the clean lines of the waistline. It is best paired with footwear that complements the length of the skirt.
