Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux | Fitted V-Neck Deep Wine Lace Midi | Luna Fashion House

The Jody Cocktail in Bordeaux is a fitted lace dress in a deep wine tone, cut to the knee with a V-neckline, delicate short lace sleeves, and soft waist draping that traces the body without clinging. The bordeaux lace reads as rich and mature, a color that photographs beautifully in warm evening light and carries depth without spectacle. The fitted silhouette holds clean lines from collarbone to knee, with the V-neck opening and short sleeves balancing coverage and openness for indoor cocktail-hour occasions and evening celebrations. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House, a heritage atelier practicing its craft since 1990. Featured at OC Fashion Week 2026, Catalina Island runway.

This is the dress for the evening that deserves weight. The holiday cocktail party. The restaurant reservation that has been on the calendar for months. The New Year's Eve gathering. The anniversary dinner. The winter wedding reception. The fall rehearsal dinner. The Valentine's Day evening. Bordeaux sits at the sophisticated end of red, the color that reads as confidence rather than costume, and the Jody fitted silhouette holds it cleanly.

Fit Guidance
The Jody Cocktail runs true to size with a fitted silhouette through the body and soft draping at the waist that moves with you. For a more sculpted fit, size down one. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer cut or the larger for layering comfort. The lace has subtle give, but consider sizing for your natural body measurements rather than your usual stretch dress size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Jody Cocktail true to size?
Yes. The fit runs true to size with a fitted silhouette through the body and soft draping at the waist. For a more sculpted fit, size down one.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?
Cocktail events, holiday parties, anniversary dinners, fall and winter weddings as a guest, galas, and formal evening occasions. The bordeaux color and lace construction read as evening-appropriate. This is not a daytime workwear dress.

Is this dress appropriate for a fall or winter wedding as a guest?
Yes. Bordeaux is among the most widely recommended colors for fall and winter wedding guests, especially for evening receptions. The depth of the color photographs beautifully in candlelit and warm indoor venues. The short sleeves and knee length meet traditional wedding guest etiquette.

What is the difference between bordeaux and burgundy?
Bordeaux is a deeper, slightly more blue-toned wine red than burgundy, which tends to pull warmer with more red undertones. Both are appropriate for evening occasions, but bordeaux reads as slightly more sophisticated and age-versatile. The Jody bordeaux is calibrated to flatter a range of skin tones without tipping into either too cool or too warm.

Can this dress work for Valentine's Day?
Yes, exceptionally well. Bordeaux is the elevated alternative to traditional red for Valentine's Day dinners, offering romance without cliché. The lace construction adds femininity and the fitted silhouette flatters. It reads as considered rather than costume.

Are the short sleeves constructed from lace or just lace-trimmed?
The sleeves are constructed entirely of the same premium European lace as the body of the dress. This gives the dress continuity and a more intentional design than dresses that use lace only as an accent or trim.

How does this compare to the Jody Lace A-Line in Bordeaux and the Jody Cocktail in Ivory, Black, and Midnight Green?
The Jody Cocktail in Bordeaux shares the same fitted silhouette, V-neck, short lace sleeves, and knee length as the Ivory, Black, and Midnight Green cocktail dresses. The Bordeaux tone is designed for fall and winter occasions, galas, and evening events. The Jody Lace A-Line in Bordeaux is a different silhouette, with an A-line skirt and long sheer sleeves, designed for more traditional and formal occasions including mother of the bride moments. Many women in the Luna community own multiple Jody cocktail dresses as seasonal companions: Ivory for spring bridal events, Black for year-round cocktail wear, Bordeaux for fall and winter, and Midnight Green for unexpected color.

Can this be paired with matching Jody pieces?
Yes. The full Luna Jody Bordeaux capsule includes the Jody Tailored Lace Blazer in Bordeaux, the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Bordeaux, the Jody Lace Cardigan in Bordeaux, the Jody Lace Elegant Blouse in Bordeaux, the Jody Lace Sweater in Bordeaux, and the Jody Lace Overalls in Bordeaux. The dress and matching blazer together create a complete coordinated evening look.

How should I care for this dress?
Professional dry cleaning is recommended for the finest results. The dress may be gently hand washed in cold water if preferred. Do not tumble dry; lay flat or hang to preserve the lace shape. Iron or steam at low temperature only. Do not bleach.

Is this dress produced in limited quantities?
Yes. Each Jody is produced in small runs at a European atelier. When a size is unavailable, restock is not guaranteed.

Where does the Jody ship from?
The dress ships from California. Orders are dispatched the same or next business day with complimentary standard delivery within the continental United States, arriving in up to 5 business days. A 14 day return window applies.
