Plus Compact Stretch Tie Neck Full Skirted Midi Dress

The tie neck is the centrepiece - a generous self-fabric bow that sits at the high neckline and trails down the bodice, adding considered detail without competing with the silhouette beneath. The skirt is full and structured, flaring from a defined waist and falling to a midi length of 130cm - it holds its shape as you move rather than collapsing flat. Compact stretch viscose blend delivers a cool handfeel against the skin, skimming the body through the fitted bodice while allowing the full skirt to sweep freely. Sleeveless cut keeps the upper half clean and uncluttered, letting the bow and the volume of the skirt do the work. Discreet side pockets sit within the skirt seams - practical without interrupting the smooth line of the front panel. The fabric has a subtle structure to it - firm enough to hold the flared skirt in shape through a long event, yet with enough give to remain comfortable from ceremony to reception. The silhouette follows a classic fit-and-flare logic, but the oversized tie neck lifts it beyond the conventional. It reads as considered rather than decorated. Worn as the model styles it here - strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewellery - the dress carries its own authority without needing much added. For a wedding or graduation, a sleek updo lets the bow take its rightful place at the neckline. For the races, a sculptural hat plays well against the full skirt's volume. Keep accessories refined: a slim clutch and a single bracelet are all this dress asks for. | Karen Millen Women's Plus Size Compact Stretch Tie Neck Full Skirted Midi Dress in Merlot | Size: 20
