I think you have to sew something (no pressure) as I really enjoy seeing your fit and precision! I love your idea of the shirt and maxi skirt. If you’re staying at the hotel then you could iron your clothes and change there? How about doing the shirt/skirt in two different jewel-like colours? Like a red washed silk blouse and more structured pink silk taffeta skirt. Very Roksanda Ilincic. Perhaps a little OTT. I now want this for myself!
You look to have quite a classic style, and like well fitted dresses. How about doing a really modern twist on the bistro dress which you’ve already fitted, and do something like this…?

This would perhaps be a little less scene stealing than the bright maxi skirt option.
Whatever you choose, please do tell!
