Shona Joy Burgundy Dresses: Burgundy, Shiraz, Plum and Wine Tasting

Shona Joy names its burgundy family in four shades: Burgundy, Shiraz, Plum and Wine Tasting. The newest is the Savanna Racer Back Maxi Dress in Burgundy, a deep wine red satin slip with a racer back, added in October 2026. Here is every Shona Joy burgundy dress at Coveti, how the shades compare, and what each suits.

How the shades compare

Burgundy (Savanna, new): a deep, saturated wine red. Shiraz (La Lune): a deep burgundy wine on soft touch satin. Plum (Savanna, earlier): browner and softer than the Burgundy; side by side, the new Burgundy is clearly redder. Wine Tasting (Agnes, Amina): a deep wine on matte satin and georgette. Want a brighter red? The Savanna Racer Back Maxi Dress in Chilli is a true red in the same cut.

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. The brand also states the model’s size on every page: on the new Savanna and Campbell maxis the model is 178cm and wears an AU8. Read the fit note before you choose. “Designed to sit away from the body” leaves room through the hips, “slim fit” follows your shape, and “fitted” sits close everywhere, so the fit note matters more than the label.

Burgundy and the Shona Joy palette

Shona Joy is best known for neutrals: ivory, champagne, cream and black. Its deep wine shades are the counterpoint each autumn and winter, and they appear in the brand’s most formal fabric, the La Lune satin, as well as in Savanna satin acetate and matte satin. The brand describes La Lune as its premium event line in LENZING ECOVERO viscose with a satin finish. That makes the burgundy pieces some of the most occasion ready in the collection, suited to weddings, black tie and the holiday season.

Caring for burgundy satin and georgette

Deep colours need cold water to keep their depth. The Savanna and La Lune satins: turn inside out, cold hand wash separately with mild soap, do not wring, soak, bleach, nor tumble dry, dry flat in the shade and cool iron on the reverse with a protective cloth. The Amina georgette: cold hand wash at 30 degrees, roll in a towel to absorb water, air dry flat in the shade without delay, and ease into shape. Both are dry cleanable.

Styling burgundy for the holidays

Burgundy is a natural Christmas party colour. Wear the Savanna in Burgundy with gold strappy sandals and a gold cuff, the La Lune in Shiraz with a black velvet wrap, and the Asher Berry suit with a black pointed pump for an office party.
