Skinny Patent Leather Teddy

Skinny cuts in patent leather leave nowhere for the fit to hide: the gloss shows every seam decision, and a cut this close makes them all in public. This teddy makes its choices early — a high leg line, a plain neckline, and a body that maps rather than skims — and executes them without the safety net of stretch-knit forgiveness.

The one concession to wearability is that patent leather has a small amount of mechanical give at the seams, which is enough for a pull-on piece at this weight band and no more. One size covers 40–60 kg; outside that band the gloss will say so.

Styling runs minimal by default: this is a piece that expects to be the entire outfit, and adding to it usually subtracts. Heels, if anything, and only when the floor demands them.

The rundown:

• Fabric: Patent leather
• Style: Skinny-fit teddy
• Color: As pictured
• Fit: One size, recommended 40–60 kg (88–132 lbs)

Every seam on display; every seam holding.
