The Karen Millen Petite Twill Woven Prom Maxi Skirt is designed for women seeking a sophisticated, architectural silhouette for formal events like black-tie galas or weddings. This piece offers a dramatic, voluminous look that is expertly proportioned for a petite frame, ensuring the maxi length remains flattering rather than overwhelming. While its structured satin construction provides a refined, polished aesthetic, users should note that the stiff nature of the woven twill requires careful handling to maintain its crisp, box-pleated shape.

Yes, the sophisticated silhouette is ideal for weddings, though the structured twill is best suited for formal or evening ceremonies rather than casual beach settings.
Due to the structured satin twill and complex pleating, we strongly recommend professional dry cleaning only.
The pockets are designed to be discreet and sit neatly within the pleats, suitable for small items like a phone, keys, or lipstick.
A fitted, structured top or a sleek satin blouse is recommended to balance the volume of the skirt's architectural shape.
Yes, variations of this silhouette are available in pink and other material finishes depending on the seasonal collection.
The petite-specific length is approximately 88cm.
Gently steam the pleats vertically using a fabric steamer to reset the fibers, then hang immediately.
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes to allow the weight of the skirt to release light wrinkles, or use a steamer.
If the length is slightly too long even for petite sizing, consult a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted while maintaining the integrity of the pleat structure.
To keep this piece in pristine condition, it should be hung on a skirt-specific hanger using the provided interior ribbon loops to prevent the waistband from stretching or the pleats from losing their alignment. Because of the structured twill material, avoid folding the skirt for storage, as this can create permanent creases in the fabric. Regarding compatibility, the neutral black finish allows for a wide range of pairings, from tonal black pieces for a monochromatic look to contrasting vibrant silk tops. Given the material, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape of the box pleats and the finish of the satin twill. If minor wrinkles appear, use a handheld steamer from a distance, taking care not to press the iron directly onto the structured pleats.
