Today’s look is loose and lovely. Whether it is featured in a street-length Big Dress or a shorter smock, the accent is on billowing grace. It is seen here in what the French call “une longue chemise” and has been made up in pure wool etamine. The styling is French and the design by Issey Miyake. This is a very versatile button-through shirt that is easy to make and easy to wear. Neat yokes continue down to form narrow upper sleeves, and softly gathered lower sleeves fall to banded cuffs. Patch pockets with turn-over tops complete the picture. Worn here with flared check trou, the shirt would be equally at ease with an under-skirt and highnecked jersey.
