FAQs
What occasions is this skirt suitable for?
This skirt is highly versatile and suitable for professional settings, special events like weddings or formal lunches, and smart-casual occasions.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements. The high waist and midi length are key features to consider when measuring your waist and desired skirt length.
What material is the skirt made of?
The skirt is made from a viscose blend, chosen for its ability to hold shape beautifully while providing a smooth, polished drape.
Can I wear this skirt in warmer weather?
The viscose blend is breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather. The midi length also offers good coverage.
How do I care for the structured pleats?
The pleats are best maintained by careful ironing on a cool setting, inside out, and ensuring they are precisely aligned before pressing. Steaming can also help.
Is the skirt true to size?
Sizing can vary between brands. It is recommended to consult the Karen Millen size guide and measure yourself to ensure the best fit for size 12.

Troubleshooting
Skirt not holding its shape
Ensure the skirt is stored correctly, not crushed. Gentle steaming can help reactivate the fabric's structure. Check care label for any specific restyling instructions.
Creasing around pleats
Iron carefully on a cool setting, inside out, using a pressing cloth if necessary. Ensure the pleats are aligned before ironing. Steaming may also help.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh wringing. Sometimes, a gentle tumble dry on a cool, air-only setting (if label permits) can soften the fabric, followed by immediate removal and smoothing.
