How to make a jumpsuit black tie
Hem it to brush the floor in your heels. Add one shine: a sequin jacket like the Black Liquid Sequin Fitted Double Breasted Jacket, a statement earring, a feather brooch. Carry a small clutch. For a jumpsuit that does not exist yet in your size, pair a fitted bodice with a wide-leg pant; read Carla Zampatti jumpsuits for how.
