FAQs
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
Viscose can shrink if exposed to high heat. Always use cold water and avoid tumble drying to maintain the size.
Can I wear this for professional office settings?
Yes, paired with a structured blazer or a crisp button-down shirt, the black fishtail skirt can be a sophisticated choice for formal office environments.
Does the skirt have a lining?
The compact viscose is designed to be substantial, but for maximum comfort, it is recommended to wear with seamless undergarments.
What is the best way to hem this skirt if it is too long?
Due to the unique fishtail construction, it is best to have this altered by a professional tailor who specializes in formal wear to ensure the curve of the hem is preserved.
Does this fabric attract lint?
While the smooth finish of the viscose generally resists lint, keeping a fabric brush on hand is recommended for maintaining the deep black color.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon unpacking
Use a garment steamer on a low-heat setting, keeping a safe distance from the fabric to smooth out creases.
Fabric feels slightly stretched after storage
Lay the garment flat on a clean surface for 24 hours to allow the fibers to settle back into their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen skirt remains in pristine condition, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Care: Always follow the garment care label. Due to the viscose content, it is generally recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water.
- Drying: Air dry the skirt flat on a clean surface to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the fabric.
- Storage: Hang the skirt on a skirt-specific hanger using the provided loops to keep the waistband from sagging.
- Compatibility: This item is designed as a standard UK size 18 fit; ensure your measurements align with the Karen Millen size guide for the most flattering drape.
