Three holes in a dress and every one of them deliberate. Petrol teal, satin draped over matte wool crepe, open at the shoulders, the waist and the side. A dark pointed pump, nothing metallic. My watch says six. Before that this dress stays on the hanger. Last light only.

A petrol-teal dress that mixes satin drape with matte wool panels, cut open at the shoulders, the waist and the side. Brutalist rooftop, last light.

The dress is one colour and two surfaces: a deep petrol teal in liquid satin for the draped sash, the sleeves and the skirt, and the same teal in a matte wool crepe for the bodice panels. The satin is folded into a diagonal sash that runs from one shoulder across the chest and gathers at the hip, where the skirt splits high on the right leg. The sleeves are cold-shoulder, cut away at the top and dropping into loose satin cuffs that end at the elbow. A single cut-out at the left waist keeps the whole thing from reading as a formal gown.

It is worn on a concrete rooftop at the end of the day, with nothing else: black smartwatch, bead bracelet, small hoops, hair down and straight. Late autumn or early spring, when the light is low and the air is still. The colour does the work, so keep shoes dark and pointed and skip anything with shine.

A dress with this many openings does not need an opinion from anyone else.
