Half blazer, half skirt. Commitment issues, tailored. An emerald wool blazer dress, one button, satin shawl lapels, cut away at the hip so a knife-pleated satin panel falls out of it. Worn as a single layer. The wind does my hair. It does not get paid. Afternoon wedding, not mine.

A single-button emerald blazer dress with padded shoulders and satin shawl lapels, cut away at the hip to release a knife-pleated skirt panel.

The blazer dress is emerald wool crepe with a sharp padded shoulder, long sleeves with a wide turned-back cuff, and shawl lapels faced in a lighter emerald satin that catch the low sun. It closes on one covered button at the waist and then diverges: the front skirt is cut away diagonally on one side and a knife-pleated panel in the same satin fills the opening, so the hem swings when the rest of the dress does not.

Worn as a single layer, with nothing at the neck. It is a cocktail dress that happens to be a jacket, so it takes a heel; a black pointed pump or a strappy sandal, never a boot. Late spring through early autumn, evenings that start on a terrace and end somewhere darker.

One button holding all of it together, which is the usual ratio.
