An emerald green velvet dress is richness incarnate. The colour is jewel-like and sophisticated and velvet amplifies that effect through its natural lustre. Emerald works across multiple silhouettes and lengths because the colour carries the impact. A fitted emerald velvet dress reads intentionally formal. A shift emerald velvet dress reads more relaxed. A midi emerald velvet dress works for occasions that want impact without full evening commitment. Emerald photographs beautifully under most lighting conditions which matters if you are wearing this for occasions you will want to remember. These are the emerald green velvet dresses that work because the colour alone creates presence.
