Style Notes

Karen Millen proudly presents By Lydia: Through the Archives – a culmination of highly coveted pieces from past collections. Over the years, we have worked with Lydia to deliver seasonal campaigns that unite her distinct style with our design-led legacy. In celebration of this journey, 16 original By Lydia pieces have been revived from the archives, handpicked by Lydia.

A masterclass in modern femininity, this dress evokes timeless elegance with a contemporary flourish. Cut in a structured, full-skirt silhouette that softly skims the figure, this piece is finished with subtle pleats for added movement and elegance. The square neckline frames the décolletage with refined poise, while the cinched waist flatters the form with tailored precision. Expertly designed for those 5'3" and under, our petite pieces are perfectly proportioned for a smaller frame using shorter lengths.

• Flattering corset bodice
