Four original pieces from the '00s archives, reworked into a modern-day collection. Paying homage to Karen Millen's design-led legacy, four archival design codes are reimagined and presented for SS25. This cotton poplin maxi dress combines contemporary design with classic elements. The structured corset bodice features intricate textured detailing that shapes and defines, while the dramatic balloon sleeves add a touch of theatrical flair. Perfect for daytime gatherings, style with white leather sandals as shown for a relaxed yet polished look. For family brunches, pair with oversized sunglasses and a woven tote bag. The button-through design offers versatility in styling, while the pleated skirt creates beautiful movement as you walk. This piece works beautifully for garden parties or cultural outings when accessorised with minimal jewellery to let the architectural elements of the dress take centre stage. Dramatic balloon sleeves with fitted cuffs create a striking silhouette. Corset-style bodice with textured detailing for a flattering fit. High neckline adds sophistication to this statement piece. Pleated skirt detail creates elegant movement and flow. Maxi length design with button-through front styling.
Main: 63% Polyester. 16% Cotton. 20% Elastane/Spandex. Lining: 100% Cotton. Part of a 2 piece set. Wash inside out. Wash with similar colours. Iron on reverse. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Place in a delicates bag prior to cleaning. Model wears UK 18/ US 16. Length Approx: 140cm
