Introducing the Claudia Dress, a 40s Film Noir loungewear inspired dress in a stunning shade of red. Designed exclusively for us as part of the Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection.
The Claudia Dress is a draped silky jersey dress with 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 which run though 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 rich red fabric is soft and slinky, which makes this dress feel opulent and sophisticated. You’ll also find hidden pockets – our all time favourite finishing touch!
The Claudia Dress perfectly combines our desire to look glamorous but still be comfortable! Cleverly designed, the dress is a one size fits most, up to a 42″ bust. This is because the dress is cut with a 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 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. For more info on tying the sash, you can see our handy video by clicking here!
Inspiration
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!
Our initial run of these dresses is small. If we have sold out of your size and you would like to order, please email us at shop@deadlyisthefemale.com.

Classic 1950s Jeans
These jeans are non-stretch. We recommend that your measure yourself and check against the size chart before ordering. Please measure your actual waist, just below your rib cage for an accurate measurement.
The waist measurement is the most important to get right. We only recommend ordering a size up if you have a very big difference between your waist and hip measurement.
These jeans should feel snug on the first wear and they will give. Don’t be tempted to order up for room- they will be too big after the first wear.
Fit advice – if when you try them on the crotch is hanging too low then the size is too big. Please let us know straight away after trying them on and we can exchange them for you.
These are sized by waist – please double check the size chart though as they can vary slightly. We have included a UK size equivalent on the size chart as a guide only. Again, we cannot stress enough that you should measure and check against the size chart. We promise it is worth it though – if you are anything like us, once you get the correct size you won’t want to wear any other brand of jeans!
