Intricate beaded cutwork embroidery adorns the skirt hem, featuring an ornate botanical motif that speaks to expert craftsmanship and artisanal detailing Fine pintuck pleating runs through the bodice, creating a beautifully structured and defined silhouette from bust to waist Square neckline with delicate spaghetti straps lends a refined yet understated elegance to the overall design Linen blend woven fabric offers a beautifully substantial drape with a natural texture that sits and moves with effortless ease Midi length with a gently flared skirt creates a graceful, sweeping silhouette that transitions seamlessly from day to evening A ladder stitch trim detail at the hem border adds a further layer of considered, artisanal finishing This dress is a masterclass in considered dressing - where intricate craftsmanship meets a silhouette that flatters with quiet confidence. The structured pintuck bodice and sweeping midi skirt make it an ideal choice for a summer garden party, a wedding as a guest, or an elevated al fresco lunch. Style it as seen with strappy heeled sandals and a chunky resin bangle to let the embroidery take centre stage. For an evening occasion, swap to heeled mules and add a pair of delicate drop earrings to complement the square neckline. Come cooler months, layer a tailored blazer or a fine-knit wrap over the shoulders to extend its wearability into the transitional season. This is a piece that rewards considered styling and will earn its place as a wardrobe investment for the woman who appreciates artistry in her dressing. | Karen Millen Women's Linen Blend Beaded Cutwork Strappy Midi Dress in Fuchsia | Size: 18
