The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Ivory is a fitted midi lace cocktail dress in plant-based silk with refined ivory lace, cut to the midi length with a V-neckline and short lace sleeves. It is built for the pre-wedding events where the bride has chosen ivory rather than white, and for occasions that ask the wearer to read as luminous rather than declarative.

Fabric
Plant-based silk with premium European lace overlay in ivory. The plant-based silk gives the dress graceful movement, a smooth hand against the skin, and a luminous finish that catches light without shine. Ivory lace reads as soft and feminine without crossing into bridal, particularly when paired with non-white accessories. The lace pattern is woven dense enough to read as textured rather than transparent. 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 at seated dinners and church ceremonies. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a tailored line or the larger for layering comfort. See the Luna sizing guide for measurement specifications. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
For rehearsal dinners where the bride has approved ivory, pair with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Bordeaux for tonal contrast and gold drop earrings.
For engagement parties and bridal luncheons, switch to the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Green for a single color note.
For Italian coastal and destination wedding pre-events, the Loretta Silk Floral Scarf works as ceremony coverage and a styling layer.
For cooler evenings, the Linea Belted Midi Coat in Ivory carries tonal continuation across arrival.
For warmer afternoons, 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
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.
