FAQs
Is this skirt true to size?
Yes, this skirt is tailored to standard UK sizing for petite frames, but the linen fabric has minimal stretch, so ensure you consult the size guide.
Can I machine wash this skirt?
It is highly recommended to dry clean or hand wash only to protect the delicate pleats and the structural integrity of the waistband.
What is the exact length of the skirt?
The skirt measures approximately 89cm, specifically designed to fall at the correct midi length for petite women.
Does the material have any stretch?
No, the premium linen construction is designed to be structured and tailored, offering a crisp, sophisticated silhouette rather than a stretch-fit.
What tops pair best with this pattern?
Due to the subtle stripe and dot pattern, it pairs best with block-colour tops or tonal pieces that match one of the colours in the weave.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping it a few inches away from the fabric to avoid direct saturation.
Pleats losing their crisp look
Lay the skirt flat and re-align the pleats by hand, then hang it immediately to allow gravity to restore the vertical lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen midi skirt in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Given the linen material, it is recommended to dry clean the garment or hand wash it in cold water to prevent shrinking or distortion of the pleats. Always hang the skirt vertically on a skirt hanger with clips to preserve the pleat integrity. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fibers and cause the structured waistband to lose its shape. When travelling, use a garment bag to prevent heavy wrinkling and keep the pleats aligned.
