Floral Print Tie Neck Woven Balloon Sleeve Midaxi Dress

A generously proportioned tie neck with contrast piped trim forms the centrepiece - it falls in a long, loose bow down the front placket, adding structure at the neckline without feeling stiff. Balloon sleeves billow from the shoulder and gather into fitted cuffs, giving the silhouette a considered drama that moves with the body rather than against it. Contrast piping runs the length of the front opening and trims the neck tie, drawing a clean, deliberate line through the all-over floral print. A front split at the hem allows the skirt to shift and separate as you walk - the midaxi length sits just above the ankle, giving the proportions a long, unbroken line. Fully lined, the dress holds its shape through the body and skims smoothly over the hips, falling with a gentle weight that keeps the woven fabric from clinging. An all-over botanical print carries a toile-like quality - detailed, illustrative, and scaled generously so it reads as a statement rather than a background pattern. The tie neck is the detail that sets this dress apart from a standard printed midaxi. It draws the eye immediately upward, framing the face with a bow that feels considered rather than fussy - particularly when left slightly undone. The balloon sleeves add volume at the shoulder, so the silhouette reads as intentional and put-together without needing much else. Worn as the model does here, with knee-high heeled boots, the dress takes on a confident, seasonally dressed-up tone that works just as well at a countryside wedding as it does at a daytime occasion or a smart lunch. For a more refined evening setting, swap the boots for a pointed-toe heel and let the bow do the work. The front split gives you ease of movement throughout the day without disrupting the overall elegance of the cut. A narrow belt at the waist - as seen on the model - defines the silhouette further and breaks up the print at exactly the right point. | Karen Millen Women's Floral Print Tie Neck Woven Balloon Sleeve Midaxi Dress in Yellow | Size: 10
