Product description

Every eye on you. All night long.

You walk in. The room shifts. That's what this dress does.

Velara™ wraps you in rich, soft velvet from shoulder to hem. The oversized sculptural bow sits right at the chest — bold, dramatic, and impossible to ignore. Above it, a sheer mesh neckline adds a hint of skin without showing too much. It's the kind of dress that gets whispered about across the table.

Elegant enough for a formal dinner. Striking enough to own a cocktail party. And you don't have to try hard — the dress does the work.

One of our most-requested event dresses this season

✓ The bow that steals the room
The rich sculpted dramatic oversized bow at the chest. It's not a detail — it's your entrance.

✓ Elegance without effort
Slip it on. Zip it up. The sheer mesh neckline, fitted silhouette, and back slit do the rest. No layering, no styling, no fuss.

✓ Looks 3x more expensive than it is
Weighted drapes like a much pricier fabric. The kind of dress people assume came from a boutique — not your phone.

✓ Flatters every figure, shoulder to hem
The fitted bodice cinches your waist, while the midi length elongates your silhouette. Curves look sculpted. Straight frames get shape.

Frequently asked questions

Is the mesh neckline see-through?
The mesh is a semi-sheer illusion panel — it shows a hint of skin at the collarbone and shoulders, but it's not transparent. You won't need a camisole underneath.

Does this dress have a zipper or pull-on design?
There's a hidden back zipper that runs from the neckline down, making it easy to get in and out of. The fit is smooth with no visible closures from the front.

Can I wear a regular bra with this?
A strapless or adhesive bra works best because of the sheer mesh neckline. Regular bra straps will be visible through the mesh panel.

Is the material heavy or lightweight?
It's a medium-weight fabric — substantial enough to drape well and look rich, but not so heavy that you'll overheat at an indoor event.

She knows what she likes.

I’m 57, I live in Australia, and I love a good dress. Not a dress that wears me, a dress that lets me get on with my day.

Every piece in this shop is one I would wear myself: to a garden lunch, a wedding, the school gate with the grandkids. If it doesn’t pass my test, it doesn’t go in the shop.

Four things I check before anything goes in the shop.

  • If I have to hold my breath, it's not for me.
  • If I can't sit down comfortably, I'm not standing for it.
  • Colour is not just for the young.
  • A good dress should survive a second helping.
