Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Lily Macrae Cold Shoulder Maxi Dress in Pink, size UK 6, is designed for adult females seeking elegant, statement attire for formal occasions. Its key benefit is the dramatic silhouette created by cold shoulder cut-outs and voluminous sleeves, combined with intricate embellishments.

FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, evening galas, races, and other special events where a statement piece is appropriate.

How should I care for the embellishments on the dress?

The embellishments should be handled with care. Professional dry cleaning is recommended, and avoid harsh scrubbing or direct ironing over the embellishment areas.

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

The dress is specifically designed for petite frames. While it can be worn by others, alterations may be necessary to achieve the intended fit and length.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a flowing woven fabric, specified as wool, and features glass bead and sequin embellishments.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

While the dress is fully lined, the wool material and full-length design might make it more suitable for cooler evenings or seasons. Consider the lining for comfort in milder temperatures.

How do I style this dress for an event?

It is recommended to style with minimal jewelry, such as drop earrings, to allow the dress's embellishments to shine. Pair with strappy heeled sandals and a sleek clutch for a polished look.

What are the main distinguishing features of this dress?

The key features include its cold shoulder design, dramatic billowing sleeves, high neck with embellishments, and a striking abstract print on a flowing woven maxi length cut.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is fully lined and that the lining is not twisted. If the issue persists and the dress is not sized for petite frames, consider professional tailoring.

Embellishments appear loose

Carefully inspect the beads and sequins. If any are loose, consult a professional tailor or seamstress for reattachment to prevent loss.

Fabric feels stiff or creased

Ensure the dress has been stored properly. If creased, use a cool iron on the reverse side. If the stiffness is due to storage conditions, airing it out might help.
