What shoes pair well with this skirt?
Block-heeled mules, strappy heeled sandals, or flat leather sandals all complement the skirt's style, depending on the occasion.
Does the skirt come in other sizes?
This guide specifically covers the Size 16. Other sizes may be available; please check the product listing or Karen Millen's official website for alternative sizing options.
How should I store this skirt to maintain its quality?
Hang the skirt on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent creasing and damage to the delicate broderie.
Is the broderie pattern delicate?
Yes, the all-over broderie anglaise is intricate and requires careful handling to prevent snags or pulls.
Troubleshooting
Broderie detailing appears snagged or pulled.
Gently try to unhook the snagged thread with a fine needle. If severe, professional tailoring may be required. Handle with care to avoid future snags.
White fabric shows signs of discoloration or stains.
Address stains immediately by spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cold water. For more persistent stains, consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics.
Skirt loses its shape after washing.
Ensure the skirt is properly reshaped while damp and laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting. If shape is significantly altered, a gentle steam iron might help restore it.
Hemline appears uneven after wear.
The scalloped broderie hem is designed with an artisanal finish. If a specific section seems significantly out of place, a tailor can assist, but minor variations are part of the design.
