Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the fabric prone to stretching out?

No, the woven fabric is selected specifically for its ability to hold its shape well over time.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the integrated side pockets are designed to be functional and should accommodate most standard smartphones.

How does the size 10 fit compared to other brands?

Karen Millen typically follows standard UK sizing; however, the shirred waist allows for a slight degree of flexibility in the fit.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

We recommend following the specific instructions on the interior care tag, but delicate woven items often perform best with gentle hand washing.

Does the skirt require an underslip?

The fabric is chosen for its substantial, crisp quality, which usually provides enough opacity for normal wear.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting to gently remove creases without damaging the woven fibers.

Waistband feels too tight

Ensure the shirred portion is placed correctly at your natural waist rather than the hips to allow the fabric to sit comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure this skirt remains a staple in your wardrobe, proper care is essential. Always check the garment's internal care label before washing; given the structured woven nature of the fabric, professional dry cleaning or a gentle hand-wash cycle is typically recommended to maintain the integrity of the shirred waistband. When storing, hang the skirt by the waist to prevent wrinkles in the fabric. It pairs well with leather sandals for daytime looks or heeled boots for evening wear.
