A jacket, promoted to a dress. Here is how to wear it from the office to dinner.
A jacket that became a dress
In the 1960s a New York socialite stepped out of her tuxedo trousers and wore the jacket as a mini dress.
Start at the shoulder
The seam sits on the shoulder bone, the lapels lie flat, the buttons close without pulling.
One fine knit, or nothing
A thin cream knit underneath for the office. Bare arms for dinner. Nothing in between.
Belt it, then keep it quiet
A narrow belt at the natural waist, a structured bag, a clean shoe. One focal point only.
From Maria's edit
One dress, three settings. Only the layer and the shoe change.
