The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux is a fitted midi lace cocktail dress in a deep wine tone, cut with a V-neckline, short lace sleeves, and soft waist draping. It is built for fall and winter evening occasions where the cocktail dress needs to carry weight without crossing into formal gown territory. Bordeaux sits at the sophisticated end of red, photographing with depth under warm evening and candlelit light.

Fabric
Premium European lace in a deep bordeaux tone, with a fitted underlining that traces the body without clinging. The lace pattern is woven into the fabric rather than applied as overlay, which gives the dress dimension that holds across years of wear. The fitted silhouette from collarbone to knee sits cleanly under coats and capes for arrival, then carries the evening on its own. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House. Featured at OC Fashion Week 2026, Catalina Island runway.

Fit
True to size with a fitted silhouette through the bodice and natural waist. The midi length sits at or just below the knee on most heights. Short lace sleeves give photograph coverage without restricting movement. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer fitted line or the larger for layering comfort under a cardigan or wrap. See the Luna sizing guide for measurement specifications. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
For mother of the bride at a fall or winter wedding, pair with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Bordeaux for tonal coordination and gold drop earrings.
For holiday cocktail parties and gala receptions, switch to the Tili Belt in Bordeaux at the natural waist for sharper definition and the Klara Structured Mini Handbag in a neutral.
For winter arrival, the Lucy Wool Coat with Fur Collar in Black or the Lucy Wool Coat with Fur Collar in Red layers cleanly over the lace.
For New Year's Eve and milestone birthday celebrations, the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Yellow adds an unexpected color note.
For rehearsal dinners, the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black sits at the natural waist of the dress.
Hold one metal tone across all hardware; gold reads warmer with bordeaux than silver.

Care
Professional dry cleaning recommended. Gentle hand wash in cold water acceptable for light refresh. Do not tumble dry; lay flat or hang to preserve the lace structure. Iron or steam on low only. Do not bleach.
