Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Polka Dot Prom Skirt is a sophisticated occasion-wear piece designed for women who appreciate a dramatic, voluminous silhouette with a timeless graphic aesthetic. Ideal for formal events, this midi-length skirt features structured box pleats and a flattering high-waisted fit, offering an elegant aesthetic for shorter frames; however, because of its heavy twill construction and full volume, it requires careful pairing with a fitted top to balance the overall proportions.

Is the fabric heavy?

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner and request a press to reset the box pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen prom skirt in pristine condition, always refer to the garment care label. Due to the woven twill material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the pleats and the structure of the fabric.
When storing, use a skirt hanger with clips to allow the item to hang vertically; this prevents the pleats from crushing. If the skirt becomes wrinkled, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric, rather than using a direct contact iron which could flatten the crisp pleats.
