Petite Crystal Neck Trim Viscose Ribbed Maxi Dress Godets Plum

Crystal-embellished high neck trim - clusters of stones edge the neckline, doing the jewellery work so nothing else is needed at the throat. Viscose-blend knit with a soft drape and cool handfeel that skims the body without clinging - it moves with you rather than pulling against you. Fine ribbing runs the full length of the bodice, creating vertical definition that draws the eye downward before releasing into the godet hem. Godets set into the lower skirt allow the hem to flare and swing as you walk - a considered structural detail that gives a maxi-length knit genuine movement. Sleeveless cut and petite-proportioned length (approx. 130cm) make this particularly well-suited to a shorter frame, sitting at the right point without overwhelming. The viscose blend has a cool, almost liquid quality against the skin - not heavy, despite the maxi length. The ribbed knit holds its shape through the bodice and waist, then the godets take over from the knee down, creating a hem that swings with each step rather than restricting movement. That balance between structure and ease is what makes this dress read as polished rather than simply fitted. The crystal neckline detail means this is already dressed for an occasion before a single accessory is added - the model keeps it clean with tall leather knee-high boots, which grounds the silhouette and works equally well for an evening dinner or a sophisticated daytime event. For evenings, a pointed court heel and a sleek clutch are all it needs. The sleeveless construction also makes it a strong candidate for layering under a sharp tailored coat when the temperature drops. | Karen Millen Women's Petite Crystal Neck Trim Viscose Ribbed Maxi Dress With Godets in Plum Red | Size: Large
