A blazer that forgot its trousers. An emerald satin blazer dress, shoulders padded, the front wrapped and gathered at one hip, a drape to the knee on one side. Black platform ankle boots. No belt; the drape knows where the waist is. Boots by day, a pointed heel after dark.

A blazer cut as a dress in emerald satin: padded shoulders, a wrap front gathered at the hip and a drape that falls to the knee on one side only.

The dress is a blazer that kept going. Emerald satin with a heavy hand, peaked lapels, a welt pocket and shoulders padded into a straight line. The front wraps and gathers at one hip, where the fabric is caught and released into a panel that drops past the knee, while the other side stops well above the knee. The sleeves are pushed up to the forearm, which is how it is meant to be worn. Underneath, black leather platform ankle boots with a square heel keep the whole thing on the ground.

This is a dinner dress that can walk to dinner. Spring and autumn, evenings that start warm and end otherwise; it takes a black wool coat over the shoulders without losing the shape. Nothing else on top, no belt: the drape already does the work at the waist. If the boots feel heavy, a pointed black heel makes it an event.

One side long, one side short, and no apology for either.
