FAQs
Is this skirt machine washable?
Due to the woven twill construction and internal lining, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the pleat structure and fabric finish.
How long is the skirt?
The skirt has a length of approximately 95cm, designed to sit elegantly below the knee for a petite frame.
Can I wear this for casual events?
While the bold print is striking, the voluminous prom-style cut is primarily intended for formal or occasion dressing.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The woven twill is a structured, non-stretch fabric, which helps maintain the intentional fullness of the box pleats.
What tops pair best with this skirt?
We recommend pairing it with fitted tops, such as ribbed sweaters or slim-fit blouses, to balance the volume of the skirt.
Does the size guide vary for this model?
This is a petite-specific cut, which is proportioned differently than standard sizes to better fit shorter frames.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flat or crushed
Hang the garment in a steam-filled bathroom or use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently restore volume.
Skirt feels too loose or tight at the waist
Verify your specific size against the Karen Millen petite size chart; because this is a structured, non-stretch woven fabric, professional tailoring may be required for a perfect custom fit.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality woven twill construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your skirt looking its best, always hang it vertically using a skirt hanger with clips that grip the waistband. This helps the box pleats hang straight and prevents deep creasing. Because the fabric is a woven twill, if the skirt becomes wrinkled, use a handheld steamer rather than an iron to refresh the pleats from the inside. Always check the internal garment tag for specific dry-cleaning instructions, as the structure and lining of this piece are best maintained through professional cleaning.
