Introducing the Lace Claudia Maxi Dress, a 40s Film Noir loungewear inspired dress in sultry black lace. Designed exclusively for us as part of the Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection and brand new for Autumn 2020.

The Lace Claudia Maxi Dress is a draped stretch lace 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. Cut to the floor and slightly longer at the back for maximum elegance and drama, minimal trip risk! There is also a split in the front so you can flash just a hint of leg as you walk! The decadent black lace fabric is soft against your skin, which makes this dress feel opulent and sophisticated. You’ll also find hidden pockets – our all-time favourite finishing touch! This black lace version also comes with a plain black slip to wear underneath (if you so wish, we adore it worn without!).

The Lace Claudia Maxi 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 a lot 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!

The Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection.

This dress is a signature piece for the Alexandra King for Deadly is the Female Collection. Alexandra and Claudia worked together to find Deadly’s core aesthetic and create a collection which captures “Deadly Style”. Film Noir Femme Fatales have inspired this collection, blended with our desire to balance sassy style with comfort and wearability. Alexandra hand makes each piece here in Somerset, and with a background in bespoke Bridal dresses, you can be sure that the quality and finish are excellent.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Amy – September 27, 2020

    Gorgeously luxe! This dress, like all Claudias, is fabulous, but I was amazed by how soft the lace is, making it super comfortable to wear. The bishop cuffs are elasticated, so they’re comfy even on my thick wrists, and I was thrilled that this version still has pockets just like all the other Claudia dresses. Will look amazing worn for a special occasion (I might don mine for Christmas!) but is so comfortable it can even be worn to lounge around in at home in superlative style. I’m a Uk 18/20 with a 46 inch bust and it still drapes beautifully on me.

    Aurelie – December 2, 2020

    Despite reading other customer’s reviews that the lace of this dress was incredibly soft, I honestly couldn’t believe my fingers when I opened the box. It’s sheer perfection and this gown feels like expensive luxury stepped straight out of a classic Film Noir.

    I adore it. And the black slip that comes with it is also perfectly cut. Simply stunning. Thank you Alexandra King and the team at Deadly for creating such beautiful garments. <3
