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.

I had such a wonderful visit to Linda & Susan, the atmosphere felt so welcoming from the moment I walked in. Everyone there was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I left feeling so happy and I already know I’ll definitely be coming back again.

This dress fits beautifully and feels amazing to wear all day. I love how effortlessly it drapes and moves. It has quickly become one of my absolute favorite pieces in my wardrobe.

Absolutely in love with my latest purchase from Linda & Susan! The quality of both the knitwear and the silk dress is outstanding, and the packaging is so beautifully done that it felt like a special gift to myself.

I placed an order here and was genuinely impressed by how fast everything arrived. The packaging was done with so much care and attention, which made the entire experience feel extra thoughtful. It really made receiving my order feel special from start to finish.

This two-piece outfit feels incredibly comfortable and effortless to wear. From the moment you put it on, everything just feels right. I really love how well the pieces complement each other while still keeping the look relaxed and easygoing.

These loafers felt comfortable from the very first time I wore them. I really like the subtle pattern detail because it gives them a more unique look without feeling overdone. I’ve honestly been pairing them with almost everything lately.

This dress feels wonderfully light and comfortable, making it perfect for daily wear. The fabric is soft against the skin and feels incredibly gentle throughout the day. It’s the kind of piece you can throw on instantly and feel great in right away.

This is already my third time ordering from Linda & Susan, and I honestly couldn’t be more pleased. Every order arrives so quickly and always looks just as beautiful as I expected. It has truly become one of my favorite shops to order from.

When Susan and I opened Linda & Susan, we simply wanted to create a place where women felt welcome the moment they walked through the door.

What started as a small dream between two sisters became one of the greatest chapters of our lives.

For years, we've carefully chosen every piece with real women in mind — women who wanted to feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful at any age.

Now we're both 63 years old, and it's time to retire.

Not because something went wrong.

Because after so many wonderful years, we're ready to spend more time with our families, our grandchildren, and the people we love most.

Today is the final day of our Retirement Sale.

When today ends, the remaining collection will be gone, and this chapter of Linda & Susan will officially come to a close.

Everything is now reduced by up to 80% — the lowest prices we've ever offered.

If something catches your eye, don't wait until tomorrow.

There won't be another sale after today.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives all these years.

With love,

Linda & Susan ❤️
