Where there’s a nod to tailoring to be made, Sarah Burton will try it at
Alexander McQueen. Even outside of the conventional suit. This wool and silk-blend dress may have the double-breasted front and smooth shawl lapels you’d expect from a jacket, but the British brand extends to above the knee to create the mini silhouette. Of course, that’s not the end of the story; there’s a cape overlay that sweeps over the shoulders. No shirt and tie necessary.
