Emerald green dresses in jewel-toned velvet and lurex

We cut most of our emerald green dress styles from velvet with a short soft pile that keeps the color deep, and the rest come in lurex, satin and rib knit. Lengths go from mini up to floor-length, and most of them have long sleeves.

Theater, office party or family dinner in green

Dark green works at the kind of event where red feels like too much. Our velvet midi with a round neck and long sleeves is the one for a family celebration or a night at the theater. Arms and neck stay covered. The velvet wrap midi handles the office party, and later, between seasons, it goes to a work meeting with a blazer on top.

New Year’s Eve is lurex territory. Our short lurex wrap comes with a V-neck and sleeves to the wrist, and it’s ready for a party that runs late. Date night is easier in satin. The satin wrap mini, polyester with a bit of elastane, sits close at the waist, and the long sleeves keep a short hem from looking too bare.

Going to a winter wedding or a gala instead? Then look at the emerald green dress in velvet maxi length, the one with a slit at the leg and wear heels with it, because they show off the slit and keep you from stepping on the hem. You’ll find more green outfits for weddings on their own page.

Velvet, lurex or satin, and what each one asks for

Velvet shines softly, from the pile. Lurex sparkles, since metallic thread is knitted right into it. That’s a big difference at a party. Satin sits in between, smooth and glossy, and the wrap shows off your waist.

All three love yellow gold. Hoops, a thin bracelet, a couple of rings. With the lurex midi, which ends at mid-calf, wear ankle boots or classic pumps, and keep the tights matte black under the short lurex wrap. The velvet mini looks right with sheer tights that have a little shimmer and a small gold clutch for New Year’s.

An emerald green dress doesn’t need help from other bright colors. One accent is plenty. If you like this shade but want to compare it with olive, sage or brighter tones, open the full green page, or see the same fabric in black and burgundy among our velvet styles.

Frequently asked questions

Is emerald too much for daytime?

Not in a midi. Put a blazer over the velvet wrap and you’re fine for a meeting. It doesn’t look like party wear by day.

Are these all winter dresses?

They’re mostly fall and winter. A couple are summer styles, and the page also has short-sleeve and sleeveless cuts.

Which size do I take in a wrap?

Choose by your bust measurement, since the belt sorts out the waist. We make every style here from XS to XL, and our M lines up with roughly a US 6–8.
