Maroon is the rare bridesmaid color that works in every season: rich enough for a winter ballroom, soft enough for a fall barn, and easy to pair with blush, gold or ivory florals.
We picked these ten from Azazie's bridesmaid range and from popular Amazon listings. For the Azazie dresses we show the price and buyer rating listed on each product page when we checked; Amazon doesn't let us show its prices or ratings, so use the button to see them there.

Best overall
Azazie
A glossy stretch-satin two-piece with a lace-up corset top and a floor-length mermaid skirt, plus a matching chiffon scarf. It's the most-reviewed dress on this list, and it's convertible, so bridesmaids can style the neckline their own way. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best with sleeves
Azazie
A modest A-line gown with a square neckline and bishop sleeves that tie in a bow at the wrist. It has pockets and a leg slit, which keeps the coverage from feeling heavy. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best chiffon
Azazie
Soft and romantic: a chiffon A-line with a V-neck, flutter sleeves, a pleated bodice and a belted waist. The floaty floor-length skirt moves beautifully down the aisle. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best for mixed bridal parties
72styles
Mixed bridal parties: one dress, many ways to wrap it, and a forgiving fit across sizes. The listing describes convertible wrap straps; free matching bandeau, 4-way stretch, wrinkle-resistant fabric and machine washable. MyLondon highlighted it as a multiway bridesmaid dress that can be styled dozens of ways and is described as flattering on many body types. Source.

Best one-shoulder
Azazie
A sleek stretch-satin mermaid with an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline and a softly pleated bodice. It's a modern, fitted look for evening weddings. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best strapless
Azazie
A strapless A-line with an overlapping panel at the neckline and a pleated, voluminous skirt. You can add spaghetti straps for extra support. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best with pockets
Azazie
A chiffon A-line with a draped cowl neckline, thick straps and a low cowl back. A gathered basque waist gives the skirt full pleats, and it has a leg slit and hidden pockets. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best statement back
Azazie
A stretch-satin A-line with a V-neck and a deep V back, finished with an asymmetric chiffon cape that cascades down the open back. It's dramatic without any beading. Offered in Burgundy on Azazie, which makes it to order in many sizes and colors.
Best for fall and winter
Ever-Pretty
Fall and winter weddings, church ceremonies and modest dress codes. The listing describes long sleeves, round neck, empire waist, ruched, padded bust; elastic back panel and no stretch; hand wash only. In a UK wedding forum, several people said Ever-Pretty dresses run small, especially in the bust, and recommended ordering by the brand's measurements, often a size up. Source.

We started from Azazie's bridesmaid and Atelier ranges and from Amazon's women's dress best-seller lists, then kept dresses offered in a maroon-family color (maroon, burgundy, wine) with clear details on fabric, fit and sizes. We didn't try these dresses on. Descriptions come from each product page and from independent articles or forums where we found them.
Prices and ratings are shown only where the retailer publishes them on its own product page (Azazie), with the date we checked. Prices change, so confirm before you buy. Amazon doesn't allow its prices or star ratings to be shown outside its own tools, so for Amazon dresses we link you there to see them.
Photos are licensed Pexels style photos that show the color and mood, not the exact dress. Always check the retailer's size chart and return policy before an event.
