FAQs
What is the specific length of the petite skirt?
The petite-specific length is approximately 88cm, designed to sit correctly on a shorter frame.
Does the skirt have pockets?
Yes, it features discreet side pockets hidden within the waist pleating.
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, due to the structured satin-finish twill and internal lining, dry cleaning is the recommended care method.
Can I wear this to a graduation ceremony?
Absolutely. The elegant, formal nature of the silhouette is well-suited for graduation, weddings, and black-tie events.
Is there any stretch in the waistband?
The skirt is designed as a structured garment and does not feature significant stretch, so it is recommended to follow the standard size chart closely.
What kind of top works best with this skirt?
Because the skirt has significant volume, it is best paired with a fitted, tucked-in top to maintain a balanced silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the skirt
Use a steamer on a low-heat setting from a distance of at least 6 inches to gently smooth out the fabric.
Pleats losing their crispness
Take the garment to a professional cleaner for a 're-pressing' service to restore the original structural pleat definition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen skirt in pristine condition, adhere to these guidelines:
- Storage: Always store the skirt hanging on a skirt hanger with clips. Avoid folding the skirt for extended periods to prevent permanent creasing of the box pleats.
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate satin-finish fabric and structural design, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and texture.
- Steaming: If the skirt wrinkles during travel, use a handheld steamer on a low setting. Keep the steamer a few inches away from the fabric to prevent heat damage to the fibers.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with tucked-in blouses or slim-fit tops to accentuate the waistline. It is designed specifically for a petite frame; ensure your footwear has an appropriate heel height to complement the 88cm length.
