A winter wedding outfit is a dress and a coat chosen together, and this collection holds both. The dresses and jumpsuits here cost from $550 to $770, and the coats cost from $680 to $910. The coats and most of the gowns are made in our Pozarevac atelier, and every order ships from California.
Choose the dress, then the coat
Most guests spend weeks on the dress and choose the coat in the hallway on the way out. We make both, so each pair below is matched by where the hems fall in our product photos.
- A cocktail reception suits the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux ($550) under the Emma Light Coat in Silver Floral Jacquard ($880). Both end at the knee. The outfit is $1,430.
- For black tie, put the Isidora Long Textured Coat in Mocha ($680) over the Bruna Long Lace Gown in Beige ($595). The coat reaches mid calf and stays in the same warm taupe as the lace. We make both pieces in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, and the outfit is $1,275.
- When the skirt should be seen, the Rina Red Floral Maxi Dress ($770) goes under the Selina Wool Cape in Black ($770). The cape is worn open and ends at the hip, so the embroidered skirt shows in full. The outfit is $1,540.
- A daytime ceremony calls for the Natasha Bow Detail Dress in Taupe and Sand ($695). The Selina Wool Coat with Red Faux Fur Collar ($825) ends a little lower than its hem. Together they cost $1,520.
- Jumpsuits are easier, since any coat length works over wide legs. The Jody Lace Jumpsuit in Bordeaux ($550) goes under the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black ($770), which stops above the knee. That outfit is $1,320.
- The Iris Off Shoulder Maxi Gown in Anthracite ($770) and the Alis Off Shoulder Metallic Gown in Bordeaux ($770) need a coat from outside this collection. The Nicole Wool Wrap Coat in Solid Black ($825) reaches mid calf. The Lucy Wool Coat with Faux Fur Collar in Black ($910) has a full skirt that ends at the knee. Both are in evening and dress coats.

Questions before you choose
What coat goes over a gown at a winter wedding?
Choose a coat that reaches mid calf or a full skirted coat at the knee. The Isidora ($680) reaches mid calf over the Bruna lace gown. The Nicole in black ($825) does the same over the Iris gown in anthracite and the Alis gown, and the Lucy in black ($910) has a full skirt that ends at the knee.
What coat goes over a cocktail dress at a winter wedding?
Choose a coat that reaches the hem of the dress. The Emma coats ($880) end at the knee, level with the Jody and Iris cocktail dresses. The red Selina coat ($825) ends a little lower than the Natasha dress. Over a dress that ends above the knee, the Iris short coat ($770) finishes level with it.
Can I wear a jumpsuit to a winter wedding?
You can. Any coat length works over wide legs, so the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black ($770) goes over either Jody Lace Jumpsuit ($550), in black or in bordeaux. The Iris stops above the knee and closes with a full front zip and a buckled belt.
Which dresses here have sleeves?
Long sheer sleeves come on the Jody Lace A-Line Dress in Bordeaux, with lace cuffs, and on the Natasha, with buttoned cuffs. The Iris A-Line Midi Dress in Blush Floral has long sleeves, the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress has short lace sleeves, and the Bruna gown has cap sleeves.
What colors are in this collection?
The dresses run from deep burgundy plum and aubergine to navy, graphite, and black. There is also a warm beige lace gown and a blush floral midi. The coats add true red, warm taupe, cream, chocolate brown, and black, including black woven with silver or teal flowers.
Should the coat and the dress match?
Keep them in the same color family or pick a clear contrast. The mocha Isidora over the beige Bruna gown stays in the same family. The black Emma with silver flowers over the burgundy Jody dress is a contrast that still suits an evening reception.
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. Returns in the US are free within 30 days, so you can try the coat over the dress at home before you decide.
