FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for tall individuals?
This skirt is specifically proportioned for those 5'3" and under. It may be too short or the rise may not fit correctly on taller frames.
What does 'Techno Woven' mean?
It refers to a high-performance synthetic blend designed to provide a structured, durable finish that is highly resistant to creasing.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No, it is highly recommended to air dry or professionally clean this item to prevent damage to the fabric structure.
Does the size 16 fit true to size?
Karen Millen sizing is designed to be tailored; we recommend consulting the specific size guide to ensure the 16 aligns with your current measurements.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The techno woven fabric is designed primarily for structure, so it offers minimal stretch compared to jersey or spandex blends.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has minor wrinkles from storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the skirt in a humid bathroom to let steam release creases naturally.
Skirt feels slightly tight at the waist
Ensure the skirt is properly aligned at your natural waistline. If comfort remains an issue, consult a professional tailor for minor adjustments to the waistband.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the techno-woven fabric, we recommend dry cleaning or following the specific care label attached inside the garment for hand-washing protocols.
- Storage: Hang the skirt using velvet-lined clips to prevent fabric indentations or slippage. Avoid long-term storage in direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the blue dye.
- Compatibility: This piece coordinates best with tailored tops. Avoid bulky, oversized knitwear which can overwhelm the carefully calibrated petite proportions of the skirt.
- Ironing: Use a low-temperature setting or a handheld steamer. Avoid high heat directly on the fabric surface to prevent potential sheen or melting of synthetic fibers.
