Double-breasted blazer dress with a leather corset belt

A black blazer dress, double-breasted with two rows of domed gold buttons, peak lapels, padded shoulders and flap pockets at the hip, the hem stopping well above the knee. Over the waist, a wide black leather corset belt that wraps and ties like an obi, pointed at the front, pulling the tailoring into a figure. Black leather sandals with a thin toe strap and an ankle strap on a slim heel.

This is the dress for a dinner that starts on a balcony and ends somewhere with a doorman. Late spring to early autumn, no tights, sleeves pushed to the elbow. The belt is the whole styling note: without it the dress is a jacket that forgot its trousers.

Gold buttons. I counted them. Six is the correct number.
