Karen Millen Burnout Embellished And Beaded Open Back Woven Maxi Dress - Pink - Floral - Size 12

Due to the deep V neckline and potentially open back, seamless undergarments in a nude shade are recommended. Consider a plunge bra or adhesive options if necessary.

Minor alterations, such as hemming, may be possible. However, altering the embellished bodice should only be done by a skilled tailor experienced with delicate fabrics and beadwork to avoid damage.

This dress is ideal for formal events such as summer weddings, christenings, garden parties, or black-tie optional occasions where a refined and elegant statement is desired.

The burnout technique involves selectively removing fibers. Treat the fabric gently, avoid harsh scrubbing, and rely on professional dry cleaning to preserve the pattern's integrity.

While sleeveless, the wool material might be warm for extremely high temperatures. It is best suited for moderate to warm weather typical of spring and early autumn events.

This specific product is size UK 12. Other sizes and variations may be available; please refer to the product listings for the full range.

No, machine washing is not recommended due to the delicate wool material, burnout pattern, and intricate beadwork. Professional dry cleaning is the preferred method.

Avoid pulling on the beads. If minor loose threads are visible, carefully trim them with small scissors. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or cleaner specializing in occasion wear.

Ensure the recommended cleaning method was followed. If dry-cleaned, the process should restore the fabric's feel. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. Wool can sometimes hold creases; professional steaming or ironing on a cool setting (reverse side only) may help.
