Intricate cutwork broderie detailing sweeps across the lower body and sleeves, featuring ornate lace-like motifs with a scalloped hem that adds an artisanal, handcrafted quality to the design Dramatic balloon sleeves gather at the cuff with button fastenings, creating a voluminous silhouette that balances structure with romance Classic point collar and button-through front with antique-toned buttons lend a refined, shirt-style finish to an otherwise statement piece Twin chest patch pockets with button fastenings add a utilitarian contrast to the delicate cutwork embroidery throughout Petite-specific cut at approximately 64cm in length, thoughtfully proportioned to flatter a shorter frame without overwhelming the silhouette This shirt is a masterclass in considered dressing - where the craftsmanship does the talking. The striking cutwork embroidery, with its intricate open-weave panels and scalloped hem, transforms a classic shirt shape into something truly considered and special. The loose fit makes it effortlessly wearable, whether tucked into tailored wide-leg trousers for a polished daytime look or left untucked over straight-cut dark denim jeans, just as the model wears it here. For a smart-casual occasion - think a garden party, a daytime wedding, or an elevated lunch - pair with strappy heeled sandals and minimal gold jewellery to let the detailing shine. Come evening, layer beneath a sleek blazer for a sophisticated contrast of textures. This is a shirt that rewards those who appreciate the finer details of construction and design, sitting perfectly within a wardrobe built on quality and considered style. | Karen Millen Women's Petite Cotton Cutwork Balloon Sleeve Woven Shirt in Ivory | Size: 8
