Leather balloon-sleeve crop top and embroidered mini skirt

A black leather crop top with balloon sleeves and a knife-pleated mini skirt with silver embroidery, on a rooftop at sunset with the skyline behind.

A black leather crop top with a round neck, princess seams through the body and balloon sleeves gathered into a narrow cuff below the elbow. The mini skirt is black wool, flat on one side and knife-pleated on the other, with an asymmetric hem and fine silver-white embroidery stitched across the front like dry grass. Black leather pointed ankle boots with a side zip.

Leather on top, tailoring below, and a rooftop at sunset to do the lighting. Wear it with no tights while the evenings are warm, late spring to early autumn, for drinks or a dinner that ends somewhere louder. The sleeves are the volume, so the skirt stays short and the boots stay plain.

Dry grass on a skirt, on a roof with no garden. Close enough.
