Barbra Streisand Inspired Black and White Off-the-shoulder Velvet Dress "The Concert"
Barbra Streisand Black and White Off-the-Shoulder Velvet Column Evening Gown “The Concert”
Channel Barbra Streisand’s iconic stage presence in this black and white off-the-shoulder velvet column evening gown, as seen in her acclaimed 1994 film The Concert. Crafted from sumptuous crushed velvet in a deep black hue, the dress features a dramatic off-the-shoulder neckline that gracefully frames the collarbones and shoulders. A contrasting ivory-white silk insert cascades down the center front, creating a striking visual line that elongates the silhouette.
The fitted bodice highlights the natural waist before flowing into a sleek, floor-length column skirt. Subtle vertical seams ensure a tailored fit through the hips, while the gentle drape of velvet provides rich texture and movement with each note sung. Perfect for red-carpet premieres, formal galas, or performance events, this celebrity-inspired evening gown balances timeless elegance with theatrical flair. Pair with black velvet or metallic heels and statement jewelry—such as a crystal brooch at the bust or chandelier earrings—to echo Barbra’s signature glamour. Finish with soft waves and a bold red lip to capture her commanding yet graceful style on stage.
- Off-the-Shoulder Neckline – A wide, shoulder-baring cut that highlights the décolletage and adds refined drama to the evening look.
- Sheath/Column Silhouette – A form-fitting shape that contours the bodice and hips, falling in a straight line to the floor for a statuesque profile.
- Floor-Length Design – A sweeping hem that grazes the floor, perfect for creating a commanding red-carpet presence or dramatic stage effect.
- Velvet Fabric with Silk Insert – Luxurious black velvet offers depth and richness, while a central ivory-white silk panel provides contrast and elongates the figure.
- Subtle Vertical Seaming – Precision seams along the bodice and skirt enhance the fitted silhouette and ensure a tailored red-carpet fit.
- Central Brooch Detail – An optional crystal or jeweled brooch at the center bust adds a touch of sparkle and vintage-inspired glamour.

The below is just a guide. We recommend that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress to measure your dress size. Always have someone else take the measurements—self-measuring is often inaccurate. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress; do not measure over other clothing.
For standard sizes, compare your measurements with the Size Chart on this product page. For products offering Custom Size, enter your own measurements in the product options and include cm or inches.
Bust
- This is not your bra size.
- Wear an unpadded bra; arms relaxed at your sides.
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Waist
- Find your natural waist (smallest part).
- Usually about 1 in. above the belly button.
- Keep the tape slightly loose for comfort.
Hips
- Measure the widest part of the hips.
- Usually about 7 in. below the natural waist.
- Ensure the tape passes across both hipbones.
Height & Hollow to Floor
- Stand straight with feet together.
- Height: head top to floor (barefoot).
- Hollow to Floor: from the hollow at the base of the neck straight down to the floor; measure with your shoes on if you will wear heels.
