Karen Millen Crystal Applique Woven Maxi Dress - Black - Size 8

This dress is ideal for black-tie events, evening galas, sophisticated weddings, and any formal occasion where you want to make a significant style statement.

Given the extensive embellishment, it's best to keep accessories minimal. Consider delicate drop earrings, a simple clutch bag, and elegant strappy heels to let the dress be the main focus.

The dress is made from wool, offering a luxurious feel and elegant drape suitable for formal wear.

The dress must be dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or hand washing due to the delicate crystal embellishments and wool fabric.

The sleeves are described as semi-sheer, providing a layer of coverage while maintaining a sense of glamour and not being fully transparent.

Minor alterations may be possible by a skilled tailor experienced with delicate fabrics and embellishments. However, significant alterations, especially to the embellished areas, should be approached with caution.

If a crystal is loose, it may be possible to re-secure it with a professional tailor experienced in garment embellishments. For missing crystals, contact customer service for potential repair options or replacement parts, if available.

Ensure the dress is hung properly on a strong, wide hanger to support its weight and length. If the issue persists, a professional tailor may be able to adjust the fit.

Attempt to steam the garment on a very low setting, holding the steamer at a distance, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming services. Do not iron directly, especially on the embellished areas.
