Fabrication

4-ply silk crepe, 40 m/m — a substantial, luminous fabric with a soft hand and full drape. Standard preorder colors are Flint and Onyx. Custom colors require atelier confirmation before ordering.


Sizing

The measurements in this chart are finished garment specifications, not body measurements. Poet Laureate is deliberately oversized; its generous pleats create at least 10 inches of ease at the chest. The volume and drape are essential parts of the design.

Choose the size whose maximum body-chest measurement accommodates you. Selecting a larger size will further increase the romantic drape. The neck and sleeve specifications shown are the atelier standards for each size; if no customization is requested, production follows this scale.

The sample is posed on a mannequin standing approximately 6’3", wearing a size X-Large. The X-Large has a finished chest circumference of approximately 56" and accommodates a body chest up to 46". Finished chest is graded by approximately 2" per size; length is graded approximately 0.5" per size, HPS to hem.

Care

Stacy Stewart Smith offers made-to-order garments, fine art, and digital publications — each requiring different care. Please refer to the product description for care and handling instructions specific to your purchase. For garments: dry clean or spot clean unless otherwise noted; do not machine wash. For fine art: keep away from direct sunlight and humidity; handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. For digital products and publications: no physical care required; download and archive your files upon receipt.

Design

Every Stacy Stewart Smith piece begins as a drawing and ends as a decision — a deliberate choice of textile, construction method, and proportion made by a single designer with five decades of practice. The same eye that composes a painting composes a coat: line, weight, negative space, and the relationship between form and the body that inhabits it. Garments are produced in New York City, one at a time, to the measurements and preferences of the individual client. No two pieces are identical. No production run exists. This is not manufacturing — it is making.

The atelier sources textiles for their hand, weight, and longevity. Sustainability here is not a campaign. It is the natural consequence of making only what is wanted, from materials chosen to last, by a craftsman who will not put his name on anything less.
