The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Ivory is a fitted knee-length cocktail dress with a lace bodice in viscose and ivory European lace, a sheer illusion yoke, and short lace sleeves. It is made for the pre-wedding events where the bride has chosen ivory rather than white, and for the woman who would rather read as luminous than declarative.
Fabric
Viscose with a European lace overlay in ivory. The viscose moves well, sits smooth against the skin, and has a low luminous finish that catches light without shine. Ivory lace reads as soft and feminine without crossing into bridal, particularly with accessories that are not white. The lace is woven dense enough to read as texture rather than transparency. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House. Featured at OC Fashion Week 2026, Catalina Island runway.
Fit
True to size, fitted through the bodice and the natural waist. The hem sits at the knee on most heights. The short lace sleeves cover the upper arm in photographs at a seated dinner or a church ceremony. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer line or the larger for comfort over a layer. Measurements are in the Luna sizing guide. The model is 5 foot 9 inches and wears size 2. The length is 37” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.
Styling
For a rehearsal dinner where the bride has approved ivory, carry the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Bordeaux for tonal contrast and wear gold drop earrings.
For an Italian coastal or destination wedding pre-event, the Loretta Silk Floral Scarf works as ceremony coverage and as a styling layer.
For a cooler evening, the Linea Belted Midi Coat in Ivory carries the ivory through the arrival.
For a warm afternoon, the Klara Structured Mini Handbag in a neutral keeps the focus on the lace.
Hold one metal tone across all hardware; gold reads warmer with ivory than silver.
Care
Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Do not bleach.
Featured in the Rehearsal Dinner Mother of the Bride guide, the Engagement Party Outfit guide, and the Italian Coastal Wedding Guest guide. Explore the Ivory Lace Edit, the Luna Wedding Edit, and the Spring and Summer Wedding Edit.
The coat over it
The ivory Jody cocktail dress is a fitted sheath. The Silver Floral Jacquard Light Coat, Emma ($880) covers it by 5 inches on a size 2, and its black jacquard carries silver and ivory flowers. The Brown Long Textured Coat, Isidora ($680) suits the sheath shape even better, as a slim straight coat in warm taupe that reaches mid calf.

The coat to wear with it, and what to add
We list the coat first. We chose it by where this hem falls.
