Full details
This Karen Millen Halter Maxi Dress is designed for adult females seeking sophisticated occasion wear.

Key features include a high halter neckline, an open-back design, a maxi length with a flared hem, and a tonal stripe pattern woven into the fabric.

What does 'Petite-specific proportions' mean in the description?
