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 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 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 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 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.

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!

Orchidgirl –
An ingenious design! The fabric is soft and flowing and it’s very comfortable to wear. You can tell alot of thought has gone into this design.
I ended up swapping this style for the flutter sleeve version as I found the long sleeves were too hot and I couldn’t push up the sleeves because of the cuff. The flutter version worked better for me
Sharon Szczotka –
A beautiful deep cherry red, lovely heavy quality fabric, well made & the pockets while functional really helped to line the dress up. As a larger lady size 16/18 the fit was great lots for fabric still left to ruche & make flattering. The belt while long would only go around twice & would not splay flat like in the video, however I think on a curvy person a large flat belt would hi-light bits you like me may be trying to hide, also for me I preferred to have the belt directly under the bust, it made the hang more flattering & the belt knot at the side or front again just hi-lighted the tummy, whilst having the knot at the back did not detract from the clinch & it gave a more hour glass figure. Overall I highly recommend the Claudia dress 5*
