Full details
This Karen Millen Premium Embellished Maxi Dress is designed for the modern woman attending black-tie events, galas, or high-end evening celebrations who wants a commanding, sculptural aesthetic. Its key benefit is the meticulous, hand-applied sequin and glass bead work that creates a sophisticated, art-deco-inspired silhouette, though the heavy, intricate construction requires careful handling to maintain its condition over time.

FAQs
Is the dress stretchy?
No, the dress is crafted with a structured, woven construction to support the weight of the hand-embellishments, so it does not have significant stretch.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the extensive use of sequins and glass beads, professional dry cleaning is strictly required.
What is the best way to store this item?
Store it in a breathable garment bag, preferably lying flat to prevent the weight of the embellishments from distorting the shape of the dress.
Can I wear this to a wedding?
Yes, it is ideal for formal evening wedding receptions, galas, and black-tie celebrations.
Does the dress come in different sizes?
Yes, this premium style is available in a range of UK sizes from 6 to 18.
Troubleshooting
Loose beads or sequins found after wear
Carefully collect any loose components. Do not attempt to re-glue; take the garment to a professional tailor or seamstress who specializes in bridal or evening wear for delicate re-attachment.
Difficulty putting on the dress due to structure
Ensure all closures are fully undone before stepping into the dress. Since the dress is fitted, ensure your foundation garments do not add unnecessary bulk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a high-value, heavily embellished garment, proper care is critical to longevity.
- Storage: Always store the dress flat or on a well-padded hanger in a garment bag to prevent the weight of the beads from stretching the fabric.
- Handling: Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or bags that might catch on the delicate glass beads or sequin threads.
- Cleaning: Due to the hand-applied nature of the embellishments, this dress is not suitable for standard machine washing. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the integrity of the beads.
- Fit: The dress is designed for a fitted silhouette. Ensure you check your measurements against standard UK sizing to ensure the structured fit remains comfortable.
