Petite Cotton Cutwork Strappy Woven Midi Dress

Crafted from 100% cotton with a fully cotton-lined skirt, this midi dress offers a refined yet breathable wear experience throughout the day Intricate cutwork embroidery adorns the tiered skirt in sweeping floral motifs, with scalloped lacework edging each tier for a beautifully detailed finish Delicate spaghetti straps and a structured square neckline are framed by fine picot trim detailing, adding a considered artisanal touch to the bodice The fitted bodice transitions into a dramatically full, tiered skirt with gathered volume - a silhouette that balances structure with movement Petite-specific proportions ensure the midi length and overall fit are precisely tailored for a shorter frame, with an approximate length of 115cm This Karen Millen dress is the kind of piece that makes a considered statement without trying too hard. The tiered cutwork skirt is the undeniable centrepiece - intricate lacework and scalloped edges bring a crafted, couture-inspired quality that sets it apart from simpler summer styles. Wear it to a garden party or a summer wedding as a guest, pairing with block-heeled mules as seen on the model, and minimal jewellery to let the dress speak for itself. For a smart lunch or an elevated day out, a structured leather clutch and strappy heeled sandals will complete the look with understated refinement. The fitted bodice and full skirt silhouette works beautifully across occasions where you want to appear polished and well put-together. Come evening, a fine-knit wrap or tailored blazer layered over the shoulders transitions the dress effortlessly into a sophisticated dinner setting.
