The Pumpkin Spice Velvet Claudia Gown is a draped velvet dress with a sash tie waist and bishop sleeves. It features a V neck which can be either modest or more daring, depending on how you tweak the gathers that run through the body of the dress. There is also a split in the front so you can flash just a hint of leg as you walk! The luxurious fabric makes this dress feel opulent and sophisticated. Cut to the floor and slightly longer at the back for maximum elegance and drama, minimal trip risk! You'll also find hidden pockets - our all-time favourite finishing touch, especially on an evening dress!
The Pumpkin Spice Velvet Claudia Gown perfectly combines our desire to look glamorous but still be comfortable! Cleverly designed, the gown is one size fits most, up to a 46" bust. This is because the dress is cut with lots of fabric through the body, which drapes beautifully. The wide sash belt gathers everything in for an elegant hourglass shape when you tie it at the waist. You can choose how and where you tie the sash for a fit tailored to you. The sash is also cut in the soft velvet fabric so you can really cinch your waist in. This ingenious design means you can pretty much always grab this dress and throw it on!
The transformation from unflattering smock shape to luxuriously draped evening dress has to be seen to be believed! Take a peek through the photos to see what the dress looks like before the sash is tied. Tying the sash is easy - simply wrap it around your body once or twice (it's up to you!) and knot it. Just try to ensure the sash isn't twisted and that it is lying flat. For more info on tying the sash, you can see our handy video by clicking here!
Inspired by a dress worn by Barbara Stanwyck in the 1944 Film Noir drama Double Indemnity and lots of classic loungewear from the era. We gave our version the Deadly treatment to vamp it up even more!

Rust colour of my dreams!

I’m not usually one to wear much orange but this is simply stunning colourway. I’d love to see this fabric used in other Deadly designs as it’s an really unique colour.
I’m only 5’4 so I had to take up the hem considerably but it meant I had enough fabric leftover to make a hairwrap!
While I’ve not had an occasion to wear it out, I’ve worn it around the house as a lounging robe so I’ve certainly had my money’s worth in terms of cost per wear!
My only niggle was that I found the sash belt was too long and very thin in the middle section. It meant that the belt turns in on itself when tied so I’d have preferred if it was double sided or had a satin facing on the other side to give it a little more structure.
