Green Claudia Dress

Introducing the Green Claudia Dress, a 40s Film Noir loungewear inspired dress in a stunning rich bottle green. Designed exclusively for us as part of the Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection.

The Green Claudia Dress is a draped silky jersey 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 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 lustrous green 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 Green 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 42″ 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 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.

Please note – This deep shade of bottle green is nearly impossible to photograph.

Under our studio lights, it was coming up as a bright teal which is nothing like the actual colour! 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.

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!
