Off-shoulder midi dresses that leave your collarbones bare

Covered knees and bare collarbones are what an off shoulder midi dress gives you, so a three-hour dinner goes by without tugging at the hem. We cut ours in velvet, lurex knit and linen. Each one has a sleeve, short or full length.

Red and black velvet for nights with dancing

The red velvet plissé is the dress we’d send to a friend’s wedding with a packed dance floor. Its fine pleats swing as you move, and a three-quarter sleeve keeps your arms from getting cold in a big hall.

Prefer a little less fuss? Our second red one has dropped shoulders, a small slit and a hem that lands at the knee or a bit lower. Velvet this dense stays warm with bare shoulders, which you’ll appreciate in a heated restaurant in January. A cropped coat works best over it, because it won’t hide the hem.

Black comes two ways. On the velvet version the drape runs into a side slit, and thin-heeled sandals show that slit off. The lurex knit has long sleeves and sparkles under any lamp. Put your hair up for both. That bare shoulder line is the reason you chose the dress.

White velvet and summer linen

On our white velvet dress, one arm gets a full sleeve while the other shoulder stays bare. It hugs the body, and the midi length makes you look a little taller at an engagement party or an anniversary dinner. Earrings will do more for it than a necklace.

The two white linen styles come from our summer collection, and both have short sleeves. One is plain linen for a hot day in town. The other is crinkled linen with a flower print, and those small creases are meant to be there, so it won’t look crumpled after a long drive to the coast.

We sew every style here from XS to XL, and the XL costs about 10% more. Velvet sits close, so at the fitting check how the drape lies over your hip. Want a shorter hem? Browse the same neckline above the knee. You can also scroll through all of our bare-shoulder cuts. For more red, there’s our red velvet shelf.
