Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Embellished Maxi Dress is designed for adult females seeking a sophisticated and eye-catching garment for formal occasions. Its key benefit lies in its exquisite glass bead embellishment and dramatic cape sleeves, offering an ethereal silhouette and graceful movement. A potential caveat for some may be its specialized nature, best suited for events rather than everyday wear, and the need for careful handling due to the intricate beadwork. The dress features a striking geometric pattern, a V-neckline with a high collar, a figure-defining woven maxi design with a subtle flare, and a fully lined construction for comfort and a flawless drape.

What does 'petite cut' mean for this dress?

The petite cut is specifically designed for individuals with a more diminutive frame, ensuring more accurate proportions in terms of length and fit.

Can I wash this dress at home?

No, due to the intricate glass bead embellishment, this dress requires professional dry cleaning only. Home washing methods can damage the beads and fabric.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress features a woven design and is embellished with glass beads. The specific base fabric composition can be found on the product's care label.

How do the cape sleeves affect movement?

The dramatic cape sleeves are designed to allow for graceful movement, adding to the ethereal silhouette of the dress without restricting natural arm motion.

Is the dress fully lined?

Troubleshooting

Beads appear loose or are falling off.

Contact a professional tailor or seamstress specializing in delicate garments for repair. Avoid attempting to reattach beads yourself, as this may cause further damage.

Dress has a faint odor after storage.

Air out the dress in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the odor persists, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Creases have formed in the fabric.

Gently steam the garment on the reverse side using a low heat setting. Ensure the iron does not directly touch the fabric, and use a pressing cloth if necessary. Professional steaming is the safest option.
