Plus Size Cotton Cutwork Balloon Sleeve Woven Midi Dress

Intricate cutwork embroidery runs along the shoulders, lower sleeves and hem, forming ornate scalloped edges that give the skirt a distinctly couture-like finish. The balloon sleeve is structured at the shoulder and gathered at the cuff, creating a voluminous silhouette that balances beautifully against the fitted, pleated bodice. A full button placket runs from the pointed collar to the waist, lending a sharp, shirt-dress precision to what is otherwise a decidedly romantic shape. 100% cotton throughout - breathable and soft against the skin - meaning this midi sits comfortably through a full day of wear without losing its shape or structure. Deep box pleats release from the waist into a full, swinging skirt that falls to midi length, striking the ideal balance between modesty and movement. The fitted waist and pleated skirt work together to define the silhouette without restriction - the dress holds its shape but moves freely, which matters when you're wearing something this considered. The cotton woven fabric gives the whole piece a crisp, pressed quality straight from the hanger, and the cutwork detailing at the hem catches the light in a way that reads as thoroughly intentional rather than decorative. This is a dress that suits a garden party, a smart lunch, or a daytime wedding with equal conviction. Style it as the model does - strappy heeled sandals keep the look refined and let the scalloped hem take centre stage. A structured leather clutch and simple drop earrings round things out without competing. For cooler days, a fitted longline blazer worn open over the top preserves the silhouette and adds a polished edge that takes it seamlessly into an evening setting.
