Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Tailored Wrap Trim Maxi Skirt is designed for the style-conscious adult looking for a versatile, elegant addition to their wardrobe that transitions seamlessly from professional settings to evening engagements. Its primary benefit lies in the sophisticated, fluid movement provided by the asymmetric hemline and draped front, which creates a polished yet dynamic silhouette. However, users should note that the integrated gold-tone safety pin hardware requires careful handling during cleaning and storage to avoid snagging delicate fabrics or potential damage.

FAQs
Is the waistband elasticated?
No, this is a tailored garment with a structured wrap construction, meaning it does not have an elasticated waistband.
Can I remove the gold-tone hardware?
The safety pin hardware is an integrated design element and should not be removed to avoid damaging the structural integrity of the waist closure.
What is the material composition?
The skirt is crafted from high-quality polyester designed for a fluid, soft drape and long-lasting durability.
How do I determine my size?
The skirt follows standard UK sizing. Refer to the brand's size guide and compare your waist measurements to the specific size (e.g., Size 12) for the best fit.
Is this skirt appropriate for formal events?
Yes, its maxi-length, refined lining, and tailored finish make it highly suitable for dinners, cocktail events, and formal office settings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging near the safety pin hardware
Ensure the pin is fully closed and locked in its housing when not wearing. If a snag occurs, use a blunt needle to gently push the thread back into the weave.
Drape appears uneven after storage
Hang the skirt for several hours to allow the fabric weight to pull out creases, or use a handheld steamer on a low, delicate setting to reset the pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always secure the safety pin closure before storing it in a garment bag. Given the polyester composition, it is advised to machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle or opt for professional dry cleaning to protect the gold-tone hardware. When pairing, consider that the wrap construction is adjustable at the waist, but the maxi length is fixed; if you are of a shorter stature, you may need to pair this with elevated footwear. Store the skirt on a proper skirt hanger by the loops to prevent the weight of the fabric from stretching the waistline.
