What is the best way to clean this skirt?
Due to the satin construction, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric finish and pleat structure.
Does the skirt have pockets?
The product design focuses on a clean, full-circle silhouette, and it does not feature external pockets.

The skirt is a midi length, measuring approximately 95cm in length.
What type of top works best with this skirt?

Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the satin fabric
Use a steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric, or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom to let the fabric relax.
Waistband feels too tight when seated
Ensure the skirt is positioned at your natural waist rather than the hips; because the waistband is structured, it is intended to sit high on the torso.
Static cling affecting the drape
Lightly mist the lining with an anti-static spray or use a small amount of fabric softener on a damp cloth to wipe the inside lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Styling: For the most cohesive look, use a belt if necessary, though the built-in waistband is designed to stand on its own as a polished finish.
- Storage: Due to the box pleats and satin material, hang the skirt using a proper skirt hanger with clips. Avoid folding the garment for long periods to prevent permanent creases in the satin.
- Cleaning: Always check the interior garment care label. Due to the delicate nature of satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric sheen and the structure of the pleats.
- Compatibility: This item is available in various sizes (UK 20, 22, 24); ensure you verify your measurements against the Karen Millen size chart, focusing specifically on your waist circumference for the best fit in the structured waistband.
