Stella McCartney perfected her approach to tailoring under the tutelage of Savile Row stalwart Edward Sexton, suit-maker for a certain famous former Beatle. So, it's no surprise to see impeccably made pieces appear throughout the designer's collections, including styles like this gown. Shaped to an always-elegant floor-sweeping silhouette, it's topped with clever drapery that creates the illusion of cape-like sleeves. Your next black-tie event is waiting.
