FAQs

How should I style the front split?

The front split is designed to add a modern flair and ease of movement. It can be worn as is, and is intended to be a subtle design feature that complements the tailored silhouette.

What material is the skirt made of?

The skirt is made from a structured woven fabric with a slight stretch, featuring a wool blend. Specific material composition can be found on the product's care label.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

It is recommended to check the specific care label for the most accurate washing instructions. Typically, wool-blend garments benefit from dry cleaning or careful hand washing to maintain their structure and color.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

The skirt is described as midi length. Exact measurements can vary slightly by size, but it is designed to fall below the knee and typically around mid-calf.

Does the skirt run true to size?

The skirt features a tailored pencil silhouette. It is advised to consult the Karen Millen size guide and compare your measurements to ensure the best fit, as tailored items can fit differently than looser styles.

Troubleshooting

Skirt feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the brand's size chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments. The slight stretch offers some give, but a tailored fit is key.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the skirt or iron it on a low setting according to the care label. Hanging the skirt properly will also help minimize wrinkles.

Color transfer from the red check pattern.

Follow care instructions meticulously, especially during washing. Wash separately or with similar colors to prevent color bleeding. Avoid prolonged soaking.
