FAQs
What material is the skirt made from?
The skirt is crafted from a high-quality, compact viscose blend designed for durability and a smooth drape.
How should I clean the skirt?
Due to the delicate nature of the fabric, follow the care label instructions carefully, which typically suggest professional dry cleaning.
Does this skirt come in other colors?
Yes, it is available in both deep purple and classic black variations.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The compact viscose is designed for structure; while it allows for movement, it does not have the high-stretch quality of jersey or elastane blends.
What is a fishtail cut?
A fishtail cut is a silhouette that fits snugly through the waist and hips, gradually flaring out at the bottom hem for a dramatic, elegant effect.

Troubleshooting
Visible creasing or wrinkles
Use a garment steamer at a low temperature setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release creases.
Hemline losing shape
Ensure the skirt is stored hung properly; if the hem becomes misshapen, professional pressing is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen skirt, it is essential to follow professional garment care standards. Because it is made from compact viscose, it is recommended to dry clean or wash exclusively according to the care label instructions to prevent fabric degradation. Always store the garment on a proper hanger to maintain the fishtail shape, avoiding wire hangers that may create indentations. When traveling, use a garment bag to prevent snagging or creasing of the structured hem.
