Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen Petite Twill Woven Prom Maxi Skirt is designed for women seeking a statement piece for formal occasions. Its key benefit is the voluminous, structured silhouette that offers a dramatic yet elegant look, perfect for events.

FAQs
Is this skirt suitable for everyday wear?
While versatile, the dramatic silhouette and fabric sheen make it best suited for formal events, parties, and special occasions rather than casual daily use.
What kind of tops pair well with this skirt?
Fitted blouses, bodysuits, tucked-in silk shirts, or fine-gauge knitwear work best to balance the skirt's volume. Avoid overly voluminous tops.
How do I ensure the petite fit is correct?
The skirt is designed to fall at a midi length (approx. 88cm) specifically for petite frames. Try it on to see if the length hits at your preferred point on the calf, considering your personal height and inseam.
Can I alter the length of the skirt?
Yes, like most garments, the skirt can be altered by a professional tailor. However, altering the length may affect the proportion of the box pleats.
What material is the skirt made of?
The skirt is made from a woven twill fabric with a subtle sheen. Please refer to the specific product details for exact material composition, as some variations may exist across different styles or productions.
How should I store this skirt?
Hang the skirt on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the pleats and prevent creasing. Store in a breathable garment bag if possible.
Troubleshooting
Skirt appears too voluminous
Ensure the waistband is correctly positioned at the natural waist. Try pairing with more fitted or structured tops to balance the silhouette. Ironing the pleats carefully according to care instructions can help maintain their definition.
Fabric has wrinkled
Hang the skirt immediately after washing or wearing. Use a medium heat iron, potentially with a pressing cloth, to gently smooth out wrinkles. Steaming can also be effective.
Pockets are not laying flat
Ensure items placed in the pockets are not overly bulky. Sometimes, the structure of the pleats can cause pockets to shift; a gentle press of the fabric around the pocket area can help them settle.
