Navy one-shoulder corset top and cut-out wide-leg trousers

Navy. All of it. No black allowed, which hurt. A navy satin top, one bishop sleeve, one open shoulder, a leather corset waist, navy crepe wide-leg trousers cut open above the knee. The corset decides the posture; I just agree with it. Pointed pump, nothing with a strap.

A navy satin one-shoulder top with one bishop sleeve and a leather corset waist, over navy crepe trousers cut open above the knee. Concrete, low sun.

A one-shoulder top in navy satin with a single full bishop sleeve gathered into a leather cuff, and a leather corset panel at the waist that pulls the whole thing in and points down at the front like a stomacher. The other shoulder is left open to the sleeve tattoo. It is one piece, not two, which is why the proportions hold.

The trousers are navy wool crepe with a pleated high waist and a wide leg, and a horizontal cut-out across each leg that reads as a slot rather than a slash. Everything is the same navy, the satin and the leather and the crepe catching the light differently, which is the whole argument for wearing one colour. Autumn and spring evenings, a dinner in a building made of concrete, with a pointed navy or black pump.

Navy on navy on navy. Black was busy.
