Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging or pulling

Avoid contact with jewelry or rough surfaces that can catch on the satin finish.

Skirt hem dragging or wrinkling

Ensure the skirt is paired with the appropriate heel height for your frame or have it professionally tailored to your specific height.

Losing the 'crinkle' texture

Never steam or iron directly with high heat, as this can flatten the intended textured finish of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of the crinkle satin fabric, avoid machine washing if possible; dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the pleated texture and the tailored structure. When storing, hang the skirt using garment-friendly clips that won't leave marks on the delicate fabric. If traveling, store in a garment bag to prevent snagging. The skirt is highly compatible with form-fitting bodysuits or the matching Karen Millen tailored jacket. Ensure you check your UK size requirements (the garment comes in sizes 6-12) as the tailored nature of the waist and hip area provides a very specific fit.
