Turn Heads The Moment You Walk In
You know the look you want for that dinner. Bold. Polished. Yours. Veloura gives you that in one dress.
The ruching gathers at your waist while the lantern sleeves float soft and full. It shapes where you want shape and skims everywhere else. Wear it to dinner, then out for the night.

Length 44.5 inches on a size S — it lands mid-calf, not at the knee.
Feel confident in a flattering fit that looks refined in person
✓ A waist that looks pulled in all night
The gathered ruching runs along your midsection and holds its shape. No tugging, no smoothing, no checking the mirror every ten minutes.

✓ Soft lace V-neck, not a costume print
The lace texture at the neckline keeps the leopard looking refined. It reads expensive up close, which is where it counts.

✓ Full lantern sleeves cover your arms
They gather at the wrist and fall soft above the elbow. Real coverage, with movement — nothing clings to your upper arm.

✓ One dress, dinner through late night
Flats and a jacket for dinner. Heels and earrings after. You get a full evening out of one hanger.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear a regular bra with the V-neck?
Yes. The V-neck sits at a moderate depth and works with most standard bras. A plunge style gives you the cleanest line if you want one.
How high do the side slits go?
They sit low on the leg and are cut for walking and sitting comfortably. They open with movement rather than staying open.
Does the leopard print show wrinkles from packing?
Very little. The polyester releases creases quickly — hang it for a few hours after unboxing and it settles on its own.
Will this work for a fall wedding or holiday party?
Yes. The midi length and full sleeves suit cooler-weather events, and the print reads as a statement rather than a theme.

Use the fit finder next to the size selector for a recommendation in a few seconds, or see the full measurement charts below.
Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.

Write to info@halstead.com with your usual size, your height and the piece you're looking at. We'll tell you what we would pick — usually within a few hours. We would far rather get it right the first time than process a return.

Coats: dry clean once or twice a season, stored on a broad wooden hanger.
Leather: wipe with a damp cloth, condition twice a year, never dry near heat.
