Veloura | One-Shoulder Ribbed Knit Mermaid Maxi Dress

One-Shoulder Ribbed Knit Mermaid Maxi Dress

The dress that makes dinner feel like an occasion. You walk in, and you feel put together. Not fussed over. Just right. Veloura is a one-shoulder maxi in soft ribbed knit, cut to skim instead of cling, made for festive dinners and winter evenings.

Why You'll Love It

✓ A waist that looks defined, not squeezed
The gathered, buckled waist twists across the middle and pulls the fabric in where you want it. The ribbing above and below does the rest.

✓ Soft stretch that skims instead of clings
The ribbed knit gives as you sit, reach and move through a long dinner. It holds its shape all evening instead of sagging at the hip.

✓ One shoulder does the work of all your jewellery
The asymmetrical neckline leaves one arm and collarbone bare. You need one pair of earrings and nothing else.

✓ A clean, unbroken line
The long column skirt runs floor-length with a slit for easy walking. No seams across the middle to cut your height in half.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the one-shoulder neckline stay put when I move?
Yes. The ribbed knit has enough grip and stretch to stay seated on the shoulder through sitting, walking and dancing.

Can I wear a regular bra with it?
Most women wear a strapless or adhesive bra with this style, since one shoulder is bare. A convertible bra with the strap set to one side also works.

Is the fabric thick enough to be opaque?
Yes. The ribbed knit is dense, not a thin jersey. It holds its shape and doesn't go sheer when stretched.

How formal is it, really?
It reads as evening without being costume. Heels and simple earrings take it to a wedding or cocktail event; flats and a jacket bring it down to dinner out.
