TUXEDO BUSTIER

The satin-faced cady gives it this subtle sheen that photographs way better than I expected. Wore it to a gallery opening with just tailored trousers and got stopped twice asking where it was from. It really does sculpt you in without feeling like you're wearing armor.

The Italian silk-wool suiting holds its shape so well that I wore it to a gallery opening with just high-waisted trousers and never once needed to tug it back into place. Structured enough to feel like real tailoring but it still moves when I sit down.

I was worried the silk-wool would feel stiff, but it actually molds to my waist after a few minutes of wear. The satin-faced cady lining means no scratching, even over bare skin. Structured enough to skip a bra, which I didn't expect.
