Limited run

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.

Really pleased with this top. The fit is comfortable and the neckline is very flattering. It looks put together without feeling too dressy, which is exactly what I wanted.

This was my first order from Studio Gisèle and I’ll definitely be ordering again. The dress is light, comfortable and fits beautifully. Delivery was smooth and kept me updated.

This cardigan is so soft and comfortable to wear. The fit is relaxed without feeling too loose, and the cream colour is really flattering. It’s one of those pieces that works with almost everything.

Where women with good taste find what they love

We're Studio Gisèle, where women with good taste find what they love

After years of carrying this alone, I'm finally passing it on to my daughter, Aubrey. It's harder than I imagined.

Fabric found in far-off markets. Colours borrowed from cultures I fell in love with along the way. A label built from nothing but my hands, my journeys, and a single sewing machine. All stitched to feel like more than just clothing.

That's the heart of what I built, and Australia is still woven through every seam.

Letting go means saying goodbye to something I raised like a child, piece by piece, year by year. But I'm certain of one thing. Aubrey is ready, with her own eye, her own spirit, and a vision that will carry this story further than I ever could.

Thank you for being part of this story. It was never really mine alone.

With all my love,
Gisèle x
