FAQs
How long is this skirt?
This midi skirt measures approximately 88cm in length.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
No, the faux leather material and metallic hardware require spot cleaning only. Do not machine wash.
What should I wear with this skirt?
It pairs best with a fitted silk blouse, a slim-fit turtleneck, or a structured bodysuit to balance the volume of the pleated skirt.
Is the belt removable?
The belt detail is integrated into the design to provide structure; it is not intended to be removed.
Does this skirt run true to size?
The skirt is designed to offer a tailored fit at the waist. We recommend checking the Karen Millen size guide for your specific UK measurements.
How should I store it to keep the pleats perfect?
Hang it by the interior loops on a skirt hanger in a spacious closet where the fabric is not compressed by other garments.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp shape
Hang the skirt vertically in a cool, dry area for 24-48 hours. Avoid using heat-based steamers directly on the faux leather.
Surface scuffs on faux leather
Gently buff the area with a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may strip the coating.
Buttons feel loose
Gently tighten the thread from the inside of the lining, or consult a professional tailor to reinforce the hardware attachments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skirt remains in excellent condition, always hang it on a skirt-specific hanger using the interior loops. Avoid folding the skirt, as this can permanently alter the pleat lines and stress the faux leather coating. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to spot clean any surface dust or debris; do not submerge in water or dry clean unless specified by a professional leather specialist. When pairing with tops, opt for fitted fabrics to balance the volume of the skirt; loose, bulky sweaters may overwhelm the waistline. Always check that the silver-tone buttons are secure before heading out, as these are the focal point of the garment's hardware.
