Green velvet dresses in a deep emerald shade

Short emerald velvet for a New Year’s party

Start with the short ones. Take the round-neck mini with long sleeves and wear gold hoops, nothing else. On New Year’s Eve we’d add patent heels and thin black tights. By day it’s happy with a beige coat and lug-sole boots.

Want one shoulder bare? There’s a fitted mini with a single long sleeve. Sweep your hair to the other side. Then there’s a strappy mini on thin straps that shows your shoulders and collarbones, and under that one you’ll want a strapless bra. Throw a short fur jacket on for the drive and leave it in the coat room.

The mini with a stand collar is 88 cm long. You won’t need a scarf at the office party, because the collar covers your neck.

Below the knee for the theater, to the floor for a wedding

The wrap midi has a belt, so the waist sits where you tie it, and the V-neck is cut shallow enough for a family table. Think theater in January, or a long dinner with relatives that runs past midnight and somebody’s aunt asking where you got it. It’s covered up but not strict, and come spring a jacket over it works for a business lunch.

A green velvet dress at floor length is what we’d pick for a winter wedding or a formal reception, the one that hugs the body, leaves both shoulders bare and opens at the leg, with three-quarter sleeves that cover part of your arm. Stilettos. Hair pulled back. The maxi with a leg slit has full sleeves instead, and heels keep you off the hem. Outside, pick a coat long enough to hide the hem.

One midi here isn’t velvet. It’s pleated, with short sleeves and a round neck, and the folds swing when you dance. If you’d like to see the pile in black or blue too, there are other velvet colors, and the brighter greens in lurex and satin sit on a page of their own.

Frequently asked questions

Does emerald velvet look too dark in daylight?

It goes a shade darker outdoors. With nude pumps and a brown bag the midi looks right at a daytime family party.

Which green velvet dress is the warmest?

Anything with long sleeves, and the stand-collar mini covers your neck as well. Velvet is warmer than thin fabrics. The strappy mini needs a jacket.

How do I care for the pile?

Inside out, 30 °C at most, no wringing. Let it dry hanging somewhere far from the heater, and a steamer from the wrong side fixes creases better than an iron does.

How short is the stand-collar mini?

It’s 88 cm long. Thin black tights and heels go well with it, and for other lengths you can browse every dress we make.
