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 vision of botanical romance, this maxi dress captures the essence of summer sophistication. The soft cream base sets the perfect canvas for flourishing floral motifs, while the structured bodice and cinched waist sculpt the silhouette to a flattering effect. Accented with a black ribbon detail for a modern contrast and a subtle nod to vintage charm, this is a piece designed for al fresco soirées and garden soirées alike. Expertly designed for those 5'3" and under, our petite pieces are perfectly proportioned for a smaller frame using shorter lengths.
