Embroidered High-Neck Mini Dress

Add a touch of drama to your cocktail ensemble with this dress by Karen Millen. Cut in a flattering fit-and-flare shape, it features black velvet applique embroidered onto a fine tulle mesh. Partially lined with a strapless blush pink underlay, the semi-sheer yoke shows off just the right amount of skin. Finished with scalloped cuffs and a Victorian-inspired neckline, rent this for a dinner date.

This dress looks beautiful on all body types. The cut draws in the waist and skims off the hips for the perfect cocktail silhouette. Keep it simple with a black heel and a matte black clutch to store all your essentials – let the intricate applique be the focus! Read our blog post for the ultimate cocktail event style guide.
