You don't want to surrender your prepster knits, but the summa-time heat's not giving you a choice. Solution? A trompe l'oeil sweater-dress with the lightest possible feel.

Fresh off the cruise ship is this Jean-Paul Gaultier cardigan-print dress, long with sheer sleeves, at Opening Ceremony (US$675). But we like a local alternative, and dressmaker Breeyn McCarney's cable-print number sells for (way) less at all-Canadian e-boutique Ukamaku. She stitches and ruches each one from eco-conscious bamboo jersey, and does it to fit your precise measurements.

Hence, when you order online, allow seven days for exquisite production. —SNP
