Burgundy satin blazer dress with an asymmetric hem

A double-breasted burgundy satin blazer dress with sharp shoulders and a high-low asymmetric hem, worn with cognac leather ankle boots in an empty warehouse.

A blazer dress in burgundy satin: double-breasted with two covered buttons, peak shoulders padded square, flap pockets at the hip and a deep V to the closure. Below the jacket line a second satin layer drops into an asymmetric hem, short at the front, long at the back, so it reads as a dress rather than a jacket worn alone. Cognac leather ankle boots with a stacked heel.

Buttoned once, no belt, no bag. Spring and autumn, late afternoon into dinner; the satin takes warm light the way the warehouse window gives it. The boots are the only colour break, and they are the right one. If the evening turns cold, a black wool coat over the top and the hem still shows.

Burgundy in a derelict building. One of us was dressed for the occasion.
