The slit goes as high as a slit goes. An emerald satin gown: padded, pointed shoulders, a pleated bodice cut on the diagonal, and a skirt open the full length of the leg. Thin black sandals. Walking is fine. Stairs are a strategy. Wear it once, somewhere with a balcony.
An emerald satin gown with padded, pointed shoulders, a pleated asymmetric bodice and a side slit that runs the length of the skirt. Stone balcony, evening sun.
The gown is emerald satin with a heavy hand, cut with sharp padded shoulders that stand away from the body like small wings. The bodice is pleated on the diagonal from one shoulder to the opposite hip, where the skirt wraps over itself and opens into a high side slit on the right. Sleeveless, floor-length, no visible closures.
It is worn leaning on a stone balustrade above an old city, with the hair pulled into a low sleek ponytail so the shoulders read clean. Summer evenings, or a warm spring night; this is a gown for a terrace, a gala or a dinner where someone else is paying. The only accessories are the black smartwatch, the bead bracelet and small hoops, which is one more than the dress needs.
The slit is not a design flaw. The design is the slit.
