Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Crinkle Satin Pleated Tailored Maxi Skirt is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, occasion-ready silhouette for formal events like galas or black-tie celebrations. Its key benefit is the combination of sculptural ruched detailing and a dramatic flared hem that creates a striking, movement-focused aesthetic; however, prospective buyers should note that the specialized crinkle satin fabric and floor-grazing length require careful handling to maintain the garment's pristine finish.

Can this skirt be machine washed?

Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles appearing in areas other than the intended crinkle texture.
Lightly steam from a distance to allow the fabric to reset its natural drape without crushing the intended texture.
Hemline feels too long for chosen footwear.
Consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted while maintaining the integrity of the voluminous flared finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your Karen Millen garment, follow these guidelines:
- Styling: Complement the structured fit of the skirt with fitted tops or blazers to maintain the balance of the silhouette.
- Storage: Hang the skirt using velvet-lined skirt hangers to prevent indentations in the satin fabric. Ensure it is stored in a breathable garment bag to avoid dust accumulation.
- Care: Due to the specialty 'crinkle' finish of the satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Do not attempt to iron or steam the skirt in a way that would flatten the intentional textured finish, as this will permanently alter the design.
