Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Compact Stretch Waterfall Maxi Skirt is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated and refined silhouette for formal occasions like weddings, graduations, or dinners. Its key benefit lies in the architectural waterfall hem and structured, compact stretch fabric that balances elegant movement with a smooth, tailored fit. Note that at an approximate length of 139cm, this garment is intentionally designed to skim the floor, which may require careful footwear coordination to maintain the desired aesthetic and prevent damage to the hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this skirt is a maxi length (139cm), it is recommended to test the fit with your intended event footwear to ensure the hem clears the ground correctly. The garment is crafted from polyester; always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions. To keep the waterfall hem in pristine condition, avoid heavy laundering processes and store the skirt hanging to prevent unnecessary creasing along the train. If the skirt needs refreshing, a gentle steam is preferred over aggressive ironing to protect the structural integrity of the fabric.
