Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Polka Dot Prom Skirt is a sophisticated midi-length piece designed for women who seek a blend of vintage-inspired volume and modern graphic design for special occasions. Featuring a striking spot border print that graduates in scale toward the hem and a high-waisted pleated silhouette, it offers a dramatic, artistic aesthetic; however, prospective buyers should note that the voluminous cut requires careful styling to avoid overwhelming smaller frames.

FAQs
Does the skirt run true to size?
The Karen Millen sizing follows standard UK measurements. It is recommended to check your waist measurement against the Karen Millen size guide for the best fit.
Can I wash this in a machine?
No, due to the construction and delicate pleated fabric, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the garment.
Is the fabric heavy?
The fabric has enough weight to hold the voluminous shape effectively without being overly burdensome to wear.
How should I store this skirt?
Store hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the pleats from crushing.
What top should I wear with this?
Fitted, tucked-in tops work best to accentuate the high-waisted pleated silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing definition
Hang the skirt vertically and use a handheld garment steamer from a distance to gently restore the shape.
Static cling
Lightly mist the lining with a fabric-safe anti-static spray to ensure the skirt drapes correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of the garment, store it on a wide-shouldered hanger or clip it by the waistband to preserve the pleats. Compatibility-wise, this skirt pairs best with pointed-toe heels or classic pumps to elongate the leg, balancing the midi-length cut. Because of the delicate nature of the print and the construction of the pleats, professional dry cleaning is the recommended care method to prevent damage to the fabric structure or fading of the spot design.
