Suiting Without The Suit

A blazer cut down to a midi dress with peak lapels and a covered button front. The shaping is done with seams rather than a belt, so it holds a clean line through a full working day and still looks deliberate across a dinner table afterwards.

• Peak lapel neckline — frames the collarbone and reads as real tailoring instead of a plain sheath with a V cut into it
• Seamed waist — takes the shape in at the middle so the skirt below hangs clean and never bunches at the hip
• Covered button front — keeps the line unbroken from chest to hem with no hardware to catch on a coat
• Slight stretch through the body — lets you sit through a long meeting without the seams straining across the back
