Dark green homecoming dresses in deep emerald velvet

Emerald velvet minis, covered or bare

The simplest one is a long-sleeved velvet mini with a plain round neckline. No trim, no extras. Velvet catches the light by itself, and this green still shows in a dark room. Because the top is closed, it fits in where a strappy mini wouldn’t.

Want more shoulder? The one-sleeve mini leaves one side bare while the other arm gets a sleeve down to the wrist. It’s cut close to the body, so check that the open shoulder lies flat and doesn’t slide when you lift your arm. If it stays put, you’ve got your size.

And there’s a velvet mini on thin straps. Plan the bra first with that one, either strapless or with clear straps. A short jacket gets you from the car to the gym.

One more for the girl who’s always cold. Our high-neck velvet mini is 88 cm long, with full sleeves, and it’s fine without a wrap.

Lurex wraps when you’d like some shine

Two of our dark green styles are made with lurex, a metallic thread. The short one crosses over into a V, with a tie you knot at the waist. Its midi sister ends at mid-calf and has a round neck. Both shimmer under moving lights, so jewelry can stay small. Black matte tights are better here than shiny ones, since the thread already sparkles.

What about gold or silver? Gold. Emerald loves it, and small gold hoops are enough.

Longer hems and warmer evenings

Not every homecoming happens in a sweater-weather town. For a warm night we make two emerald satin wraps, one with long sleeves and one with short. They’re polyester with elastane, and they belong to the summer collection, so you’ll see them listed again when it warms up. Choose ahead.

If short isn’t your thing, there’s a pleated midi with short sleeves that moves well on the dance floor, and a velvet wrap midi you tie at your natural waist. All of our homecoming dresses in dark green come in XS to XL.

Frequently asked questions

Is emerald really a dark green?

Ours is. It’s a deep, saturated green, and velvet looks deeper still in warm evening light. Photos can’t quite catch it.

Do you make a long one?

Yes. One velvet gown reaches the floor, with bare shoulders and a slit. There’s a long-sleeved velvet maxi as well. See more on the green velvet page.

What shoes go with emerald velvet?

Nude or black heels. Either one lets the color lead.
