This piece combines a fitted cocktail dress with a lightweight cape for balance, making it suitable for semi-formal and formal evening occasions

If you won't be dipping into air conditioning, choose a lightweight tulle with lace appliqus instead for that vintage vibe without the weight

To attach to the original piece, I first used a layer of wood glue (let it dry for 15 minutes) and then secured it with a Brad nailer

Satin Slip Dress + Oversized Turtleneck + Mules Style Notes: For a winter-ready take, layer an oversized turtleneck on top to bring a touch of understated luxury to the slip dress
