Women's Green Figure Form Bandage Strappy Knit Maxi Dress

Square neckline with broad, flat straps that sit firmly on the shoulder - structured enough to wear without additional support. Bandage-knit construction creates horizontal banding through the bodice that transitions into vertical ribbing down the skirt, giving the dress two distinct zones of texture within a single silhouette. The skirt portion holds its shape close to the body and falls to midi-maxi length - approximately 125cm from the centre back - with enough stretch to allow a natural stride. The elastane content in the knit means the dress moves with the body rather than against it, holding its form throughout the evening without stiffness. A clean, unembellished finish keeps the focus on the architectural knit detail - nothing competes with the construction itself. This dress slots into a wardrobe as the piece that needs very little around it. The structured bodice and close-fitting skirt do the work on their own, which means accessories can stay considered and minimal - a pointed-toe heel or a clear strappy sandal, as the model wears here, keeps the line unbroken. A slim gold cuff or a simple drop earring is all it needs for an evening occasion. Wear it to a wedding as a guest, a graduation dinner, or a formal cocktail event where the dress code calls for something deliberate rather than decorative. For cooler evenings, a sharp tailored blazer in a tonal shade adds a layer without disrupting the silhouette. The ribbed skirt section has enough structure to resist creasing through a long evening, making it a practical choice when you need a dress that looks as composed at the end of the night as it did at the start. | Karen Millen Figure Form Bandage Strappy Knit Maxi Dress in Emerald | Size 6 Colour: green
