Velvet Embroidered Cutwork Short Sleeve Midi Dress

Velvet with a dense, short pile that absorbs light to give the skirt a deep, rich surface - the kind that shifts subtly as you move rather than catching the room all at once. Cutwork detail at the chest sits beneath embroidered floral motifs, creating an open lattice panel that adds dimension without exposing too much - considered and precise. Flutter sleeves fan out from the shoulder and fall loosely to the elbow, softening the silhouette at the top while the body of the dress remains close and composed. Tonal embroidered roses run from the hip down through the skirt, visible only on close inspection - the kind of detail that rewards a second look. Midi length falls to mid-calf, giving the dress a formal weight that holds its own at weddings, evening events and occasions where the dress code demands real thought. A dress built for the occasions that matter. The velvet body sits neatly through the waist and hangs with enough weight to move cleanly, without clinging - it carries itself well across a ceremony, a reception, or an evening event where you'll be on your feet. The flutter sleeves bring a softness that stops the overall look from reading too severe, while the cutwork chest panel ensures there's genuine craft at the centre of the design. Style it as the model does - strappy heeled sandals with a minimal silhouette let the dress do the work. For a wedding or formal dinner, keep accessories refined: a simple drop earring and a structured clutch are all this needs. The embroidery and velvet surface together make jewellery largely unnecessary. This is a piece that sits equally well at a winter wedding, a gala, or any occasion where you want to arrive looking thoroughly considered. | Karen Millen Women's Velvet Embroidered Cutwork Short Sleeve Midi Dress in Black | Size: 10
