Is this skirt true to size?
The skirt is designed as a petite-specific fit; please refer to the Karen Millen standard UK sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
Can I wash this in a machine?
No, the woven twill and structural elements require professional dry cleaning to maintain the skirt's shape and finish.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt sits at approximately 95cm, designed to fall as a midi-length piece.
Does it have pockets?
The product description focuses on the structured waistband and pleats; there is no mention of pockets.
Is the waistband elasticated?
The design features a structured wide waistband, which typically implies a non-elastic, tailored fit for a polished look.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp definition
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to have the pleats reset and pressed correctly.
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer on the inside of the skirt to gently relax wrinkles without damaging the twill structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the structure and finish of your Karen Millen prom skirt, always follow the garment's specific care label, which typically necessitates professional dry cleaning. Because the skirt is fully lined and features precise box pleating, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can distort the fabric texture and pleat alignment. When storing, hang the skirt on a wide-shouldered hanger or clip it by the waistband to prevent wrinkles from forming on the pleated sections. Before wear, ensure any static is minimized by using a gentle garment steamer on the reverse side of the fabric if necessary.
