Emerald green evening gowns in velvet, floor-length to midi

Velvet and emerald were made for each other, and most of this page proves it. An emerald green evening gown from us means a floor-length or maxi velvet dress with a slit on the leg. Midis and a few minis follow close behind for less formal nights.

Floor-length velvet with bare shoulders or long sleeves

The first gown leaves the shoulders bare, covers the arms to just below the elbow, opens in a slit and follows the body all the way to the floor. We made it for weddings, proms and formal receptions. Wear your hair pulled back or up, and your neck and shoulders stay in view. Stiletto heels look good in the slit.

The second is a maxi with long sleeves, so your arms stay covered and the slit does the moving. We’d recommend it for a winter celebration when you’d like to stay warm. Wear heels. With them you won’t step on the hem. Outdoors, a coat that falls below the knee or a long puffer keeps the skirt from peeking out. When you try it on, make sure the sleeve doesn’t pull at the shoulder.

Midi velvet, lurex and pleats for dinners and theater nights

Is floor-length too much for your event? The velvet midi with long sleeves and a closed round neck is quiet enough for a family party or a night at the theater. The wrap midi, velvet again, closes in a shallow V-neck, and you pull the belt as tight as you like. Knot the belt at your natural waist so the wrap sits flat.

Then there’s shimmer. The lurex midi ends at mid-calf with a round neckline. Its sleeves are full-length, and the deep green keeps the metallic thread from looking loud. Matte tights go with it, nude or black. The pleated midi with short sleeves is the one for a New Year’s party with dancing.

Gold, coats and the short emerald options

Emerald loves gold. Hoops, a chain, a clutch with gold hardware, any one of them works, and you don’t need all three. Over the top we’d put a black coat, because bright green looks even deeper against it.

If you’d rather go short, we’ve got velvet minis in the same shade. One has a stand collar and long sleeves and measures 88 cm in length. Another has thin straps, and a third bares a single shoulder. Every style is cut in XS to XL, and with velvet that fits close you should measure bust and hips.
