The Karen Millen Hand Beaded Trailing Floral Maxi Dress is an elegant, floor-length garment designed for women attending formal occasions like black-tie weddings or galas. Its standout feature is the intricate, hand-applied beading that creates a sophisticated botanical aesthetic, offering full-body coverage that feels both modest and refined. Because of the delicate nature of the hand-beaded embroidery and the garment's significant length, owners should handle the dress with extreme care to prevent snagging or bead displacement.

No, this dress must not be machine washed due to the hand-applied beads which are fragile and prone to damage during mechanical agitation.
Because the dress is a statement piece, keep accessories refined and minimal. Simple drop earrings and a small clutch are ideal.
The dress uses a structured woven base designed to hold the weight of the beads, so it does not have significant stretch. Choose your size based on your current measurements for the best fit.
While appropriate for formal outdoor events, be mindful of the long hem and the delicate beadwork when walking on uneven ground or through areas where the fabric might catch.
Store it inside a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is hung properly on a sturdy, padded hanger.
Take the garment to a professional tailor or specialist embellishment cleaner to have individual beads secured rather than attempting a DIY repair.
Use a professional garment steamer from a distance, ensuring you do not touch the beads directly with the hot surface of the steamer.
Because this garment features extensive, hand-applied beadwork, it requires specific care to maintain its integrity. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or jewelry that could snag the lattice of beads. When storing, keep the dress hanging in a breathable garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and to keep the weight of the beads from pulling on the fabric over time. If the dress must be cleaned, professional dry cleaning is highly advised; do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation will damage the beadwork and the woven base fabric.
