MILLICENT | Wide-leg jumpsuit with chiffon panels

I did not want to wear a dress to the wedding and I did not want to look like I had given up either. This was the answer.

Formal occasions still assume a dress, and for a lot of us that assumption stopped being comfortable some time ago. The alternatives are usually trouser suits that feel like work, which leaves a real gap on the one day a year it matters. Millicent fills it.

The bodice is tailored, cut to hold the shape through the ribs and the waist, and over the wide legs there are chiffon panels that fall loose and move independently as you walk. That movement is what gives it the drama a formal occasion wants, and because the panels are chiffon rather than a heavy fabric, none of that drama costs you anything in weight or warmth.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Formal without a dress. It reads correctly at a wedding or a formal dinner, and you are in trousers the whole time.
• The chiffon moves on its own. Loose panels over the leg catch the air as you walk, which is where the elegance comes from.
• A tailored bodice above, easy legs below. The structure is only where it needs to be.
• Light for a formal outfit. Chiffon adds movement rather than weight, so a long evening stays bearable.

How it fits

Sizes S through 2XL. The bodice is tailored, so it sits closer than most of this collection and the bust decides the size. Between two sizes, take the larger, and order early enough to try it well before the event.

I wore it to my son's wedding and was the only woman not in a dress. No regrets.
