Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen tiered maxi skirt in white floral linen is designed for adult females seeking an elevated daytime or occasion look. Its key benefit is the structured yet flowing silhouette created by distinct tiers and lace detailing, offering a sophisticated and distinctive style. A potential caveat is its specific sizing, fitting a UK size 12, which may require careful consideration for those outside this range. This skirt features three layers: a smooth upper tier, a knife-pleated mid-tier with lace trim, and a flowing woven lower tier, all crafted from linen with a lined interior for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Skirt appears wrinkled after washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is a ready-to-wear garment and requires no setup. Its primary compatibility is with adult female sizing, specifically a UK size 12. For care, due to the linen material and delicate lace trim, it is recommended to follow specific cleaning instructions. Typically, linen garments benefit from gentle hand washing in cool water or a delicate machine wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and high spin speeds. To maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent excessive wrinkling, it is advisable to hang the skirt to dry or lay it flat. Ironing should be done on a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or using a steam iron, focusing on the pleats and woven sections to restore their structure. Store the skirt folded or on a padded hanger to preserve its shape and prevent creasing.
