Dresses

The best dress in your closet has been to 5 weddings. Luna Fashion House makes these 46 dresses for weddings, cocktail parties, black tie evenings, and the office. They cost $550 to $770. All are designed and made in Europe, and we cut and construct 20 of them in our atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. Every order ships from California within 1 business day.

Choose by occasion

• For a wedding as a guest, start with our wedding guest dresses and jumpsuits, grouped by dress code and season. The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress ($550) comes in 4 colors with short lace sleeves.
• Cocktail attire has its own page. Our cocktail dresses are the 35 that end above the knee, at the knee, or at mid calf.
• For an evening or a black tie invitation, go to evening dresses. The gowns there start with the Bruna Long Lace Gown in Beige ($595) and include the Alis Metallic Gown in Bordeaux ($770).
• For work, you will find the Lucy Navy Illusion Sleeve Sheath Dress ($695) and the Natasha Bow Detail Dress in Taupe and Sand ($695) in business outfits, with the rest of the executive edit.

Choose by length

• Above the knee, you have the Laura Short Metallic Dress in Bronze ($595) and the Melisa Short Corset Dress in black or beige ($670).
• At the knee there are 21 dresses, including the Jody lace dresses, the Iris cocktail dresses, and the Olga Wrap Dress in Navy ($695). The Lina Ruched Off Shoulder Midi Dress ($550) belongs here too, since it ends at the knee despite the word midi in its name.
• At mid calf there are 11. Among them are the Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress in Midnight Blue ($695), the Nela Midi Dress in black or ivory ($695), and the Melissa polka dot dresses ($770).
• The Eli High Low Evening Dress ($670) is short in front and reaches mid calf at the back.
• At the ankle or the floor there are 9. They include the Iris and Alis gowns, the Rebeka long dresses, and the Bruna. The Greta Long Dress with its sequin bodice is one of them, and so are the Lola Floral Maxi Dress and the Rina Cyclamen Floral Maxi Dress. The Rina Red Floral Maxi Dress ends between tea length and the ankle.

We make the coats too. A dress to the knee takes a coat that reaches the knee or passes it, and a midi takes a coat to mid calf. None of our coats reaches the hem of a gown, so choose one to mid calf, or a full skirted coat at the knee like the Lucy Wool Coat in Black ($910). Each dress page names the Luna coat that fits its hem, and every coat is in outerwear.

Our guide to event dress codes for women gives the length each invitation asks for.

Questions before you choose

Where are Luna dresses made?

All 46 Luna dresses are designed and made in Europe. We cut and construct 20 of them in our atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, where Biljana Jovanovic founded Luna Fashion House in 1990. The embroidery on the 2 Rina maxi dresses is finished there too.

How much do Luna dresses cost?

Luna dresses cost $550 to $770. The Jody lace dresses and the Iris cocktail dresses are $550, and most midi dresses are $595 to $695. The gowns start at $595 for the Bruna and reach $770 for the Iris, the Alis, and the Rina maxi dresses.

What are elegant dresses for women over 40?

Let the event set the length and your own preference set the sleeve. The Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress ($695) has sheer 3/4 sleeves and a full skirt to mid calf. The Jody Lace A-Line Dress ($550) has long sheer sleeves. The Natasha ($695) puts a sheer sleeved bodice over a pencil skirt to the knee.

Which Luna dresses have sleeves?

Long sleeves come on the Jody Lace A-Line Dress, the Lucy Navy Illusion Sleeve Sheath Dress, the Iris A-Line Midi Dress, and the Natasha. The Lucy Jacquard Midi has 3/4 sleeves. The Rebeka dresses come with sheer cape sleeves that come off, and the Jody lace cocktail dresses have short lace sleeves.

Which dresses work for black tie?

Choose a gown to the ankle or the floor. We cut 5 for black tie. The Iris Off Shoulder Maxi Gown comes in navy or anthracite ($770), and the Alis is bordeaux metallic ($770). The Rebeka Long Dress comes in ivory or plum ($670), and the Greta ($670) and the Bruna ($595) complete the list.

What coat goes over a Luna dress?

Match the coat to the hem. A knee length dress needs a coat to the knee or longer, and a midi needs one to mid calf. None of our coats reaches the hem of a gown, so choose the black Nicole ($825), which reaches mid calf, or the full skirted Lucy ($910).

How do shipping and returns work?

Orders ship from California within 1 business day. US shipping is free, and transit takes 2 to 5 days. US returns are free within 30 days, so you can try the dress and its coat at home before you decide.
