Women's Blue Petite Cotton Cutwork Balloon Sleeve Woven Midi Dress

Intricate cutwork embroidery adorns the hem and cuffs, featuring ornate scalloped detailing that adds a refined, artisanal quality to the silhouette Dramatic balloon sleeves with a structured puff at the shoulder taper elegantly to fitted cuffs, creating a beautifully considered sleeve profile A full button-front fastening runs the length of the bodice, offering a polished shirt-dress aesthetic with a neatly defined waist Crafted in 100% cotton with a cotton lining throughout, ensuring a comfortable, breathable wear with a beautifully full midi skirt Designed exclusively for the Petite frame, with proportions carefully considered to flatter a shorter silhouette at an approximate length of 129cm A pointed collar with subtle embroidered corner detailing completes the structured, considered neckline This midi dress is a masterclass in considered craftsmanship, where the artistry lies in the details. The sweeping, full-bodied skirt moves beautifully, whilst the cutwork embroidery at the hem and cuffs speaks to a woman who appreciates the finer points of dressmaking. It transitions effortlessly from a sophisticated daytime occasion to an evening event - think garden parties, wedding guest dressing, or a smart lunch. Style as seen with strappy metallic heeled sandals to let the dress take centre stage, or swap for block-heeled mules for a more relaxed afternoon affair. Keep accessories understated - a delicate bracelet and a structured top-handle bag will complement without competing. The defined waist and full skirt create a beautifully balanced silhouette, making this a versatile wardrobe investment that works across seasons when layered with a fine-knit roll-neck beneath for cooler days. | Karen Millen Petite Cotton Cutwork Balloon Sleeve Woven Midi Dress in Navy | Size 16 Colour: blue
