Introducing the Green Velvet Claudia Dress, a 40s Film Noir loungewear inspired dress in a dramatic shade of emerald green. Designed exclusively for us as part of the Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection.
The Green Velvet Claudia Dress is a draped velvet 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 luxurious green fabric makes this dress feel opulent and sophisticated. You’ll also find hidden pockets – our all-time favourite finishing touch!
The Green Velvet Claudia Dress 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!
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!

I truly adore the colour of this dress. The velvet fabric gives it such a luxurious feel, & for the first time in a long time I have a style of dress that makes me feel glamorous & elegant. The Claudia dresses really are a stroke of magic in their design & how good they make you feel. Love this collection!

This dress is gorgeous I now have it in leopard and this green. I hope next winter they make the navy into a dress too as they are just so versatile unlike the gowns. The dress can be worn wothbboots and thick tights for day wear. In the evening just change to stockings and high heels.
My only criticism would be I preferred the belt/sash for the leopard print dress. I feel the velvet is to heavy and I am still experimenting but on me it feels bulky. So for now I am wearing my black sash with the dress. Thanks

It has taken me a few attempts to get the belt to work correctly for me and at first I was feeling quite frumpy in this dress. I’m finally getting the hang of tying it so I’m hoping it will grow on me. The velvet is beautifully soft and strokable and the green is just a lovely rich colour. I’m hoping that practice makes perfect!
