Burgundy reads grown-up and glamorous in photos, and it's flattering on almost every skin tone. That's why it shows up every homecoming and prom season.

These five are popular Amazon listings in wine and burgundy. Amazon doesn't let us show its prices or ratings, so tap the button to see today's price, sizes and reviews.

How we picked

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.
