Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Spot Border Prom Skirt is a sophisticated midi-length piece designed for adult women who appreciate structured, artistic tailoring for formal occasions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-waisted, voluminous silhouette with a striking graduated spot border print, offering both elegance and dramatic movement. Note that because this skirt features a distinct, full-bodied woven twill construction with a specific petite-proportioned cut, those who prefer lightweight, minimalist fabrics or very long hemlines may find the structured aesthetic and specific sizing require careful consideration for their wardrobe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the pleated woven twill, avoid folding the garment for extended periods. When storing, hang the skirt in a cool, dry place using skirt hangers that do not leave marks on the waistband. For cleaning, check the internal care label specifically; generally, high-quality woven twill garments of this nature perform best with professional dry cleaning to ensure the pleats remain crisp and the fabric maintains its drape. When styling, coordinate with neutral solid-color tops to let the polka dot border print remain the focal point of your outfit.
