Lace Pocket Detail Midi Dress

All-over floral lace with an open-worked construction gives the fabric genuine depth - the pattern is bold enough to read across a room, intricate enough to reward a closer look. A high, stand collar and double-breasted jewel-button placket at the bodice bring a structured, almost Victorian formality to the silhouette. Matching lace belt cinches the waist precisely, creating a defined hourglass line without relying on the cut alone to do the work. Scalloped lace edges at the short sleeves and hem - the skirt grazes the mid-calf at approximately 125cm, finishing with the same raw-edged lace detail for a considered, unfussy close. Lace pocket detailing sits flush at the chest, adding a tailoring reference that keeps the dress from reading as purely ornamental. The lace here has real weight to it - it holds its shape through the bodice and skirt rather than floating away from the body, which means the silhouette stays sharp from ceremony to reception. The lined construction means it sits cleanly against the skin with no need for layering underneath. The high neck and midi length make this a dress that works effortlessly at occasions where the dress code demands thought: weddings, race days, summer garden parties, graduation ceremonies. Style it as the model does, with strappy heeled sandals that keep the ankle visible and let the scalloped hem take its moment. A small structured clutch and simple drop earrings complete the look without competing with the lace's own detail. For cooler evenings, a sharp, tailored blazer thrown over the shoulders sits well against the dress's structured bodice without disrupting the line. | Karen Millen Women's Lace Pocket Detail Midi Dress in Emerald | Size: 10
