Full details

These Karen Millen Petite Tailored Structured Crepe Pleated Wide Leg Trousers are designed for adult women seeking sophisticated, occasion-ready attire. The key benefit is their elegant silhouette and refined fabric, offering a polished look with comfortable movement. A potential caveat is the petite-specific cut, which may require alteration for those outside the intended height range. Crafted from structured crepe fabric with deep, tailored pleats, these trousers feature a wide-leg silhouette and a high-waisted, tailored waistband, providing volume and a flattering, floor-grazing finish. They are an excellent choice for formal events like weddings or ceremonies.

What is the fit like through the leg?

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear creased after storage

Gently steam the trousers on a low setting or have them professionally dry cleaned and pressed.

Fit is not quite right despite petite sizing

Consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments to the length or waistband. Due to the wide-leg nature, hemming can be a more involved process.

Fabric feels stiff

This is characteristic of the structured crepe fabric. Wear the trousers a few times to allow them to naturally soften. Avoid washing, as this is a dry-clean only item.
