EDITORS NOTE

Boreal Evening — covered at the front, open at the back.

Long sleeves, a high neck and a slim column skirt to the ankle — then nothing across the back. All the drama is behind you, which is the point. Black, and best left unaccessorised.

How to measure

Lay something you already own flat and compare. Nothing here asks you to measure yourself.

  1. A · Bust — Across the chest under the arms, then double it.
  2. B · Waist — Across the narrowest point, then double it.
  3. C · Hip — Across the widest point, then double it.
  4. D · Shoulder — Straight across the back, seam to seam.
  5. E · Length — From the top of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
