All our burgundy dresses

The ancient Romans loved burgundy, which was hardly surprising. This deep red colour was associated with strength and power, wealth and luxury, and passion and love too, of course. It was often worn by royalty and the clergy. Fortunately, burgundy is no longer exclusive to the nobility. Anyone can wear it today. Indeed, burgundy dresses are a huge favourite among many of us Gudrunistas. There is something quite special about wearing a burgundy dress. It feels sassy, bold and full-on, and offers a chic and sophisticated look too. I think we have to agree with the ancient Romans... there’s something exceptional about burgundy.

Our burgundy dresses span a wide spectrum of stunning shades, from deepest burgundy – the rich colour of ripe grapes. To brighter and more cheerful dark red hues. We offer a choice of plain and patterned burgundy dresses, some with dots and stripes, others with decorative details like puff sleeves, lace trim and fabric-covered buttons. Whatever its shade, a burgundy dress matches effortlessly with a host of other colours. Just take a look at the dresses. Burgundy dresses with woodland-green leaves and rich, yellow flowers or burgundy dresses with blue and orange embroidered details. And that’s exactly how to think when matching your new burgundy dress with other items of clothing. Create a lovely everyday look by pairing it with olive-green leggings, a colourful cardigan when lunching with friends, and accessorise with a beautifully patterned blue, turquoise and orange shawl on festive occasions. If you fancy an all-burgundy day, your dress will look fantastic with a tunic, a polo-neck top, a jacket and a pair of shoes – all in glorious shades of burgundy. Layer your look in a variety of shades!

Our burgundy dresses also come in a choice of fabrics to suit different preferences and occasions. A knitted burgundy dress is wonderful in the autumn when the leaves on the trees are turning to the same colour as your dress. At Gudrun, we are passionate about clothes made of natural fabrics that continue to look good year after year, without pilling and losing their shape. That’s the reason our knitted dresses are made of wool, organic cotton and other natural fibres. Winter parties and festive occasions call for a burgundy velour dress that makes a statement. Velour is an enchanting fabric. With a delicate sheen that gives it a luxurious party look and a softness that makes it incredibly comfortable to wear. Seamlessly taking you from fun evenings out to your favourite armchair where you curl up with a good book. What better than a burgundy jersey dress with three-quarter sleeves on a fine spring day, when nature is awakening and tiny shoots are pushing up through the ground. This superbly simple and comfortable dress is perfect for welcoming the new season and embracing its energy. When summer arrives and the warm sun caresses your skin, it’s time for a sleeveless jersey dress.

We’ve designed all of our burgundy dresses, indeed all of our easy-wear clothes, to be inspiring and original. They should be effortless to wear, easy to match and simple to choose. One last thing – they should be just what every colourful and unique Gudrunista wants!
