Full details

This Karen Millen Petite dress is designed for women 5'3" and under, offering a sophisticated and timeless option for various special occasions, from weddings to workdays. Its key benefit lies in its perfectly proportioned petite fit and durable, trend-defying design.

The dress features a notched neckline, elbow-length sleeves, pressed pleats, and a matching fabric belt, all crafted from polyester crepe.
