Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Compact Stretch Waterfall Maxi Skirt is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, floor-length silhouette for formal events like weddings, galas, and graduations. Its primary benefit is the elegant waterfall hem that creates a train effect while maintaining a secure, streamlined fit through its high-quality stretch fabric. Note that due to its 139cm length and floor-skimming design, careful consideration regarding footwear height is recommended to maintain the garment's appearance and prevent dragging.

FAQs
What is the total length of the skirt?

Is the fabric prone to stretching out?
The skirt uses a 'compact stretch' construction designed to hold its shape and resist becoming baggy throughout the day.

Yes, the floor-sweeping waterfall hem is specifically designed for formal occasions such as weddings and galas.
Does it have a lining?
Yes, the skirt is fully lined to provide a comfortable fit and a polished, opaque finish.
How should I clean this skirt?
We recommend following the care instructions on the internal label, typically involving gentle cycle washing or professional dry cleaning.
Does the skirt fit true to size?
The skirt is designed to offer a streamlined, fitted look; the stretch material allows for some flexibility, but it is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guide.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled from storage
Use a low-heat steamer held at a distance to gently release creases without damaging the synthetic fibers.
Hem dragging on the ground
Consider wearing a higher heel or consult a professional tailor to have the front portion of the hem shortened while preserving the waterfall train.
Static buildup on the lining
Lightly mist the inner lining with a garment-safe anti-static spray or use a metal hanger to ground the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated, architectural silhouette suitable for formal occasions
- Stretch material offers a balance between structure and comfort
- Fully lined interior ensures longevity and a premium feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the architectural integrity of the skirt, store it hanging rather than folded to prevent creases in the stretch fabric. When styling, verify your desired heel height before tailoring, as the 139cm length is fixed. For care, always check the internal garment tag; typically, items containing this type of compact stretch polyester require a gentle machine wash or dry cleaning to preserve the structure of the waterfall hem. Avoid using heavy-duty tumble dryers, as the heat can compromise the elasticity of the fabric over time.
