The Karen Millen Bead Detail Halterneck Maxi Dress is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, artisanal aesthetic for formal occasions like garden parties, weddings, or evening galas. Its standout feature is the combination of intricate floral appliqué, embroidery, and delicate glass beadwork on a structured halterneck bodice, offering an elegant décolletage and a flowing, floor-skimming silhouette. Please note that due to the delicate nature of the glass beading and semi-sheer fabric, this garment requires careful handling and professional cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.

The dress has a length of approximately 144cm, designed to be a full-length maxi.
No, due to the delicate glass bead detailing and floral embroidery, it must be professionally dry cleaned.
The skirt features a semi-sheer woven construction. It is recommended to wear skin-toned seamless undergarments.
A stick-on, backless, or specialized halter-compatible bra is recommended to maintain the clean line of the deep V-neck.
The dress is primarily crafted from cotton, which provides a structured fit rather than high elasticity. Ensure you check your measurements against a size 12 guide for the best fit.
It is perfect for formal events such as summer weddings, garden parties, milestone celebrations, or formal evening functions.
Take the garment to a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your specific height while maintaining the pleated finish.
Do not attempt to pull loose threads as this may unravel the embroidery. Secure the loose bead or thread with a tiny dot of clear fabric glue or consult a professional garment repair specialist.
Hang the dress in a bathroom during a steamy shower to allow the pleats to relax naturally, or use a handheld steamer on a low setting from a distance of at least 6 inches.
To ensure the longevity of the glass beadwork and embroidery, this dress should never be machine washed or tumble dried. Given the artisanal construction, professional dry cleaning is the only recommended care method. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide, padded hanger to prevent stress on the halterneck strap. Because the skirt is semi-sheer and pleated, avoid sharp jewelry or accessories that could catch on the delicate woven threads. If the dress requires steaming to remove wrinkles after transport, use a low-heat steamer, keeping the nozzle away from the delicate glass bead embellishments on the bodice.
