Karen Millen Velvet Cross Front Woven Maxi Dress - Black - Size 8

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as black-tie events, evening receptions, galas, and sophisticated wedding celebrations.

It can be styled with classic pointed court shoes or modern strappy heels. Complement the look with statement earrings and a sleek clutch. The halterneck beautifully frames the décolletage.

The dress is primarily made from sumptuous velvet, with a woven overlay creating its unique architectural design.

The side split is a fixed design element. Its visibility depends on your movement and the fit of the dress.

This particular listing is for Size 8. Other sizes may be available under different product listings or upon request.

Dry clean only is recommended for this velvet dress to maintain its luxurious texture and color. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat.

Consider professional tailoring for hemming to achieve the perfect floor length for your height. Ensure you are wearing the intended heels when assessing the length.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it at a safe distance. Avoid direct ironing on the velvet pile.

Be mindful of jewelry and accessories that could catch on the woven material. Store carefully in a garment bag when not in use.

Ensure the dress is fastened correctly and the size is appropriate. If the halterneck is consistently loose, consult a tailor for potential minor adjustments to the strap length.
