What size is this specific product guide for?
This guide specifically addresses the Karen Millen Satin Tux Tailored Pleated Skirt in Blue, Size 16.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their sharpness
Ensure the skirt is dry cleaned. If minor creasing occurs, try steaming gently from the reverse side on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with the satin.
Satin fabric appears dull
Satin can lose its sheen if not cared for properly. Ensure it is professionally dry cleaned and stored away from direct sunlight, which can fade its luster. Avoid washing with harsh detergents.
Zipper is difficult to fasten
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or silicone spray applied sparingly to the teeth might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
