Shona Joy Blue Dresses: Midnight Satin, Powder Blue Jersey and Blue Stripe

Shona Joy’s blues run from deep Midnight navy satin to a powder blue jersey and a fresh blue and white stripe. Here is every blue dress from Shona Joy at Coveti, how the shades compare, and what each suits, from black tie to a summer lunch. For more designers, browse blue dresses and navy dresses.

How the blues compare

Midnight: a true deep navy, on La Lune satin and on Stellar Lurex metallic jersey; formal, and a softer alternative to black. Sky (Miro): a pale powder blue jersey. Blue Stripe (Omri): mid blue and white cotton stripes. Espresso Floral (Elsa): blue flowers on chocolate brown. A note on the Agnes styles in Sky: on screen and in person they read as a very pale, icy shade close to white, so we have not included them here.

How Shona Joy sizing works

Shona Joy cuts in Australian sizes, and an AU size carries the same number as a UK size, so an AU8 is a UK 8. Coveti lists every style in UK sizes, and the size guide on each product page converts UK sizing to US, Italian, French and German sizes. Read the brand’s fit note before you choose: “designed to sit away from the body” leaves room, “slim fit, designed to skim the body” follows your shape without clinging, and “fitted style” sits close everywhere. Where the brand gives a sizing instruction, follow it. It recommends sizing up on the La Lune Lace Back when you are between sizes, sizing down on the La Lune Strapless Column, and sizing up on the Lambent bodysuit.

Caring for satin

Shona Joy’s own care instructions for its satins are gentle: turn the piece inside out, cold hand wash separately with mild soap, cold rinse, do not wring, soak, bleach nor tumble dry, dry flat in the shade, and cool iron on the reverse with a protective cloth. A handheld steamer is the safest way to drop creases from satin on the day. Store bias cut pieces folded over a padded hanger, not hung by the straps, so the hem does not drop over time.
