The sleeves arrived first. I followed. A red satin blazer dress traced in black leather, cut-outs at the waist, and split sleeves that hang to the knee like a cape. Black ankle-strap sandals. I walk fast. These make it look planned. Wear it to an opening in an old mill.

A red satin blazer dress edged in black leather, with waist cut-outs and split sleeves that fall like a cape.

A red satin blazer dress with the tailoring pushed to the edges. Black leather traces one lapel, runs down the front in a long panel and caps the two pocket flaps. Cut-outs open at the waist on both sides. The sleeves are split from the shoulder and fall in wide, stiff panels to the knee, so the arms come out through the middle and the cape stays behind.

Worn with black ankle-strap sandals and nothing else, because nothing else would fit under those sleeves. It belongs at an event in an old building with tall windows, spring or autumn, on someone prepared to walk slowly and let the sleeves follow. I do not walk slowly. The sleeves make it look like I meant to.
