FAQs
What is the length of this skirt?

Due to the delicate nature of the pleats and the lining, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended.

How should I style this skirt for a formal event?
Pair it with a fitted, block-colour top to balance the voluminous bottom, and finish with heels.
Is the fabric stretchy?

What size is the model wearing?
This specific variant is a UK Size 14; Karen Millen sizes generally run true to standard UK measurements.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to gently release creases without damaging the pleats.
Skirt feels too loose or tight at the waist
Because the waistband is fixed for a structured look, we recommend visiting a professional tailor to have the waist taken in or let out slightly if the fit is not ideal.
Pleats losing their crisp definition
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner and request a press specifically for pleated items to reset the fold lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen Polka Dot Prom Skirt, focus on proper storage and maintenance. Always hang the skirt using garment-friendly clips to prevent the pleats from flattening or wrinkling over time. Due to the construction and the specific print, it is recommended to follow the garment's internal care label strictly, typically requiring professional dry cleaning to preserve the drape and the crispness of the pleats. When pairing, consider that this piece acts as the focal point; select neutral-toned accessories to ensure the polka dot print remains the highlight of your outfit.
