Instead Of A Dress

A halter jumpsuit in printed satin, cut with a high neck and trousers wide enough to read as a long skirt when you stand still. The print is the loudest thing about it, so everything else on the piece — the neckline, the waist, the leg — has been left deliberately plain.

• High halter neckline — covers the chest and leaves the shoulders and the whole back bare above it
• Wide leg trousers — fall straight from the hip so the line stays long from waist to floor
• Defined waist seam — separates the top from the trouser and keeps the shape from going slack
• Soft satin sheen — reads as dressed up in daylight as well as under evening light indoors
