Plus Embroidered Halterneck Pleated Midi Dress

Halterneck bodice with a peplum hem creates a defined waist, while the open back keeps the silhouette light and considered. Large-scale floral embroidery sits across the bodice - bold enough to read as the focal point of the entire look without competing with the skirt below. The pleated midi skirt moves with the body, each pleat catching the light as you walk - the kind of movement that photographs well at events and feels effortless in person. Viscose shell offers a soft drape and cool handfeel, skimming the body rather than clinging to it - a considered choice for long occasions where comfort matters as much as appearance. Midi length sits at approximately 135.5cm, landing well below the knee for a silhouette that reads polished at formal events without feeling overly conservative. Fully lined for a clean, structured finish that holds the shape of the pleats and the peplum throughout wear. The embroidery on the bodice does the heavy lifting here - sweeping botanical motifs rendered in tonal contrast against the woven shell give this dress a hand-finished quality that sets it apart from simpler occasion wear. The peplum sits just right, adding shape at the waist before giving way to the pleated skirt, which flows and shifts with every step. It's a dress built for occasions where you want to look considered rather than overdressed - a wedding, the races, a formal graduation dinner, or an evening event that calls for something beyond the standard. Style as the model does with slim-strap heeled sandals to keep the leg long and the look refined. If the evening calls for a little more coverage, a sleek tailored blazer in a tonal shade works well thrown over the shoulders. Jewellery should be kept minimal - small earrings are all this neckline needs. | Karen Millen Women's Plus Size Embroidered Halterneck Pleated Midi Dress in Navy | Size: 20
