Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Petite Midi Dress is designed for adult women seeking elegant occasion wear. Its key benefit lies in its unique 3D floral appliqué and dramatic bubble hem, offering a sculptural and sophisticated silhouette. A potential caveat is that its specific petite cut may not suit all body types, even within the petite range. The dress features a delicate strappy neckline, a straight-across bodice, and a voluminous bubble hem midi skirt. Crafted from a cotton-linen blend, it provides a crisp, breathable feel with natural texture. The 3D floral appliqué is a signature artisanal detail, transforming the dress into a statement piece perfect for events.
