Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Premium Crystal Embellished Cross Back Maxi Dress is designed for the modern adult woman attending high-stakes formal events such as black-tie galas, awards ceremonies, or milestone celebrations. Its primary benefit is a high-impact, show-stopping aesthetic provided by all-over crystal embellishments and a sophisticated fluid silhouette; however, users should be aware that the 160cm floor-grazing length may require specific footwear adjustments or tailoring to avoid dragging for shorter individuals.

FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress utilizes stretch-infused construction, which generally allows for a forgiving and comfortable fit that conforms to your body shape.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the all-over crystal embellishments, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the crystals and the fabric.

What type of bra should I wear with this?

Given the open-back and halterneck design, adhesive cups or backless, strapless bras are recommended for the best aesthetic result.

How long is the dress?

The dress measures approximately 160cm in length, designed to provide a floor-grazing, formal silhouette.

Is the fabric heavy?

While the embellishments add some weight, the stretch-infused base fabric is designed to remain fluid and comfortable for the duration of formal events.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too long and touches the ground excessively

Consider having the hem professionally adjusted by a tailor or pair with high-heeled footwear to lift the hemline.

Crystal embellishment looks dull or dusty

Gently shake the garment to remove loose particles and use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush to lightly dust between crystals.

Straps slipping or feeling loose

Ensure the cross-back mechanism is properly adjusted and tensioned to hold the halterneck securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the crystal embellishments in pristine condition, this garment should ideally be dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or harsh agitation which could damage the crystals or the fabric weave. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a garment bag to prevent the embellishments from snagging on other items in your wardrobe. Due to the halterneck and cross-back design, it is recommended to test the fit with your chosen accessories and undergarments prior to your event to ensure comfort and proper positioning of the straps.
