Intricate contrast embroidery runs throughout - from geometric border detailing at the bodice and sleeves to an ornate floral motif sweeping across the hem, making this a true statement piece in woven cotton Deep V-neckline adds a refined yet considered décolletage, lending the silhouette an effortlessly sophisticated edge Puffed, elbow-length sleeves with gathered cuffs bring a considered, artisanal quality to the overall design Self-tie belt cinches the waist, allowing you to define your silhouette and adjust the fit to your preference Midi length - approximately 142cm - offers a graceful, floor-skimming finish that works beautifully across seasons Fully lined in cotton for a comfortable, considered wear throughout the day This Karen Millen midi dress is the kind of piece that does the talking for you. The contrast embroidery - geometric at the bodice and romantically floral at the hem - gives it an artisanal, well-travelled quality that feels both considered and distinctive. The self-tie belt means you can wear it neatly cinched for a more defined silhouette or loosely tied for an effortless, relaxed feel. Style it as the model does with flat strappy sandals for a polished warm-weather look, or swap in block-heeled mules and a structured clutch for a garden party or summer wedding guest occasion. Come autumn, layer a fine-knit roll-neck underneath and add ankle boots to transition the dress seamlessly into cooler months. Whether you're heading to a daytime event, a long lunch, or a cultural weekend away, this dress carries itself with the kind of quiet confidence that defines the Karen Millen woman - sophisticated, contemporary, and always impeccably put together.
