Full details
The Karen Millen Tailored Wrap Trim Maxi Skirt is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, fashion-forward piece that transitions seamlessly from professional office environments to elegant evening settings. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sharp, tailored waist with a fluid, asymmetric draped hem that ensures graceful movement. One caveat is that the signature gold-tone safety pin hardware requires careful handling during laundry to avoid snagging or damage to the fabric.

FAQs
Is the gold-tone safety pin functional or decorative?
The safety pin hardware is primarily a decorative, fashion-forward element that accents the tailored wrap waist.
Can this skirt be machine washed?
While the material is polyester, we recommend hand washing or using a delicate cycle with a mesh garment bag to protect the hardware.
Does the skirt offer stretch?
The garment is designed as a tailored piece; therefore, it has limited stretch and is intended to hold a structured shape.
What shoes pair best with the asymmetric hem?
The asymmetric hem looks excellent with pointed-toe pumps or strappy heels, which elongate the legs and complement the maxi length.
Is the skirt true to size?
The skirt follows standard UK sizing conventions for a tailored fit, ensuring it sits securely at the natural waist.
Troubleshooting
Safety pin hardware looks dull
Gently wipe the gold-tone metal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore shine.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low heat setting to release creases without damaging the drape.
Static cling in the lining
Lightly mist the inner lining with a fabric-safe anti-static spray or use a damp cloth to smooth the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the tailored wrap construction and the luster of the gold-tone hardware, please follow these care guidelines. Always check the garment care label inside the skirt for specific temperature recommendations. When laundering, it is highly recommended to place the skirt in a protective mesh laundry bag to prevent the safety pin hardware from snagging on other items or the fabric itself. Avoid using harsh bleach or high-heat tumble drying, as these can compromise the shape of the drape. Store the skirt hanging on a skirt hanger with clips to preserve the alignment of the wrap panel, ensuring it remains ready for wear without excessive ironing.
