Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Compact Stretch Waterfall Maxi Skirt is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, floor-skimming silhouette for formal occasions like weddings, graduations, or dinners. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-end, graceful waterfall hem with a compact stretch construction that ensures a smooth, comfortable fit that retains its shape throughout the day. While it offers an elegant, refined aesthetic, users should note its 139cm length, which may require careful styling with footwear to avoid dragging.

Can I machine wash this skirt?
Yes, but it is recommended to use a delicate cycle and a garment bag to maintain the fabric's quality and the structure of the hem.

No, the compact stretch construction is specifically designed to maintain a structured shape and smooth fit throughout the day.
What size is the UK 14 version?
This is a standard UK size 14, providing a comfortable fit in the waist and hips due to the fabric's natural stretch.
Is the skirt see-through?

What kind of top looks best with this?
A fitted blouse or a tailored blazer works best to balance the flared profile and emphasize the skirt's waistline.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer to release wrinkles, keeping the steamer head at least two inches away from the fabric.
Hem dragging on the ground
Pair the skirt with higher heels, or if necessary, consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted.
Static cling
Lightly mist the inner lining with a mixture of water and a small amount of fabric softener or use an anti-static spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made from a polyester-based compact stretch material, it is designed for longevity and easy maintenance compared to delicate silks.
- Care: Always check the inner garment label for specific temperature settings. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle in a garment bag to protect the integrity of the fabric stretch. Avoid tumble drying; hang the skirt to dry to preserve the waterfall hem’s shape.
- Storage: Hang the skirt on a skirt hanger using the internal loops to keep the fabric smooth and prevent creases from forming across the hips.
- Compatibility: The pink variant in size 14 matches well with neutral tones like ivory, champagne, or silver for a soft, coordinated formal look.
