The Red Leopard Claudia Maxi Dress is a draped chiffon gown with a sash tie waist and slip. It features a V neck which can be either modest or more daring, depending on how you tweak the gathers which 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! Cut to the floor and slightly longer at the back for maximum elegance and drama, and minimal trip risk! The delicate fabric is dramatic and floaty, which makes this dress feel opulent and sophisticated. You'll also find hidden pockets - our all-time favourite finishing touch! The dress is semi-sheer and so is sold with a black slip to wear underneath, but we love the idea of wearing it without for a daring look.
The Claudia Dress perfectly combines our desire to look glamorous but still be comfortable! Cleverly designed, the dress 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. However this version is slightly narrower due to the width of the fabric so a 46" bust really is the maximum. You can see the dress on Daisy who is a 46" bust. The black 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 cut in soft and stretchy 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 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.

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! This flutter sleeve version is just as dramatic as our original Bishop Sleeve version but a little cooler for warmer days!
We have tried our best to colour-match it but everyone's screen is slightly different. If you'd like to discuss the colour with us please email or call us on 01373 469914.
