Green Velvet 1950s Swing Dress
Rich, elegant and made for an entrance, the Hemet Green Velvet 1950s Swing Dress brings old Hollywood glamour to a classic vintage silhouette. The deep emerald green stretch velvet catches the light beautifully, making it an eye-catching choice for Christmas parties, weddings, cocktail events and special nights out.
The shaped bodice features a structured sweetheart neckline and wide shoulder straps for comfortable coverage. A defined natural waist flows into a knee-length full circle skirt with plenty of movement for walking, dancing and twirling.
Better still, this green velvet swing dress has pockets. Style it with black or gold accessories for an elegant evening outfit, add vintage jewellery for a complete 1950s look or pair it with a cropped cardigan when the weather cools.
