Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled
Use a low-temperature garment steamer, keeping the nozzle at least 15cm away from the fabric to smooth out creases.
Hem dragging on the ground
Pair with a higher-heeled shoe to increase clearance or consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted.
Static cling
Lightly mist the inner lining with a mixture of water and fabric softener or use a commercial anti-static spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen skirt remains in peak condition, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Storage: Hang the garment on a proper clothing hanger using the internal loops to prevent the weight of the polyester fabric from stretching the straps.
- Cleaning: Given the delicate nature of the waterfall hem, machine washing on a delicate cycle in a garment bag is suggested, though professional dry cleaning is the safest option to maintain the structure.
- Footwear Pairing: To prevent tripping or damaging the hem, pair this skirt with heeled sandals or pointed-toe heels. Flats may be suitable if you are taller, but always test the hem clearance before wearing.
- Steaming: If the skirt arrives with minor creases, use a hand-held fabric steamer on a low setting from a safe distance rather than using a standard iron, which may crush the compact stretch fibers.
