Adrianna Papell hand-beaded dresses and gowns are detailed entirely by hand, with artful focus on dimension and design. Hand-beading is our signature and one of our favorite ways to help you shine on any and every occasion.

Each hand-beaded dress is slightly different; your gown is uniquely yours. And keeping it beautiful for years to come is easier than you might think:

CARING FOR HAND-BEADED DRESSES

Surprise! Doing nothing for your hand-beaded dress is everything. The delicate nature of any hand-designed, beaded gown is not ideal for dry cleaning.

  • Keep your hand-beaded gown hanging neatly in your closet, give it some room to breathe from time to time, and gently spot clean when necessary.
  • Don’t worry if you see a few stray beads in the Adrianna Papell box. It’s a natural part of the hand-beading process, and we always include an additional bead packet with your purchase.
  • A hand-beaded dress, long or short, is like a valuable work of art. Treat it gently, and it will reward you with beauty for a lifetime.
