Karen Millen Velvet Embellished Maxi Dress - Black - Geometric - Size: 8

This dress is ideal for black-tie events, formal galas, winter weddings, and other sophisticated evening occasions where a statement of elegance is desired.

Due to the intricate beadwork and opulent fabric, it's best to keep accessories minimal. Consider delicate strappy heels, a sleek clutch, and subtle jewelry like fine earrings or a bracelet.

No, due to the delicate velvet and glass bead embellishment, the dress requires professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash or attempt home dry cleaning.

Store the dress on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag to protect the fabric and beadwork from dust, light, and potential snags.

The dress has a length of 135cm, designed to create a floor-sweeping column silhouette.

The velvet fabric may have a slight natural give, but the dress is primarily designed for its structured silhouette rather than significant stretch. It's important to select the correct size for the intended fit.

Contact a professional tailor or seamstress specializing in delicate fabrics and beadwork for repair. Avoid attempting self-repair to prevent further damage.

Do not iron. Professional steaming is the best option for gently removing creases. If immediate steaming is not possible, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, ensuring the fabric does not get wet.

Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a padded hanger. Minor adjustments to fit may be possible by a professional tailor if necessary, but the inherent drape is designed with the velvet's weight and quality in mind.
