Lamplight does half the work. I let it. A burgundy satin halter top, leather trim, hem cut to a point, over a bronze metallic plissé maxi skirt. Pointed black heel, nothing metallic on the foot. The skirt moves before I do. A salon with no clocks, after dark.

Satin, leather trim and metallic pleats in a lamplit salon: a burgundy halter top with a handkerchief hem over a bronze plissé skirt.

The top is burgundy satin cut on the bias with a halter neckline bound in black leather, a gathered seam at the waist and a handkerchief hem, also trimmed in leather, that drops to a point over the skirt. The skirt is a bronze metallic plissé, floor-length and fine-pleated, with enough weight to move in a straight line rather than float.

An autumn and winter look for dinner or drinks somewhere with lamps and tapestry chairs, worn from early evening until the lamps are the only light left. The two fabrics are the whole idea: satin against metal, matte leather holding the edges in. Small hoops, a black pointed heel, no bag, hair down.

Soft furnishings and I have an understanding. I do not sit on them in this skirt.
