Karen Millen Petite Botanical Embroidery Organdie Angel Sleeve Midi Dress - Purple - Size 10

This dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal events such as weddings, garden parties, christenings, or race day events, where its elegant design and embroidery can be showcased.

Refer to the brand's specific size guide, paying close attention to measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Since it's a petite fit, consider your height as well.

No, machine washing is not recommended due to the delicate sheer organdie fabric and intricate embroidery. Dry clean only is advised.

Seamless, nude-colored undergarments are recommended to maintain the clean lines of the dress and ensure they are not visible through the sheer fabric.

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent creasing and protect the delicate fabric and embroidery from damage and dust.

Strappy heeled sandals or elegant court shoes in a complementary color would best suit the dress for formal occasions. Minimalist designs allow the dress's embroidery to stand out.

Minor alterations might be possible, but due to the delicate nature of the fabric and embroidery, it's best to consult with a skilled tailor experienced in working with fine garments.

Handle with extreme care. If a thread is loose, it may be possible to gently secure it with a fine needle and matching thread on the reverse side, or consult a professional tailor for repair.

Consider wearing seamless nude undergarments. For added coverage or warmth, a fine slip or a lightweight pashmina can be worn.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional steaming is the safest option.
