Quick answer
Choose the Livvy if you prefer a classic, petite-friendly tea-length dress with a basque waist and adjustable straps. Choose the Jana if you want a dramatic, full-length look with asymmetric ruffles and a side slit.
Silhouette and length
The Livvy features a demure tea-length hem that hits below the knee, making it an excellent choice for petite bridesmaids or more conservative wedding parties. The Jana, by contrast, is a full-length dress with a side slit that adds movement and a touch of glamour.
If your wedding has a formal or black-tie dress code, the Jana's floor-length silhouette fits right in. For a garden party or daytime ceremony, the Livvy's shorter cut feels more appropriate.
Waist and support
The Livvy has a basque waist that cinches at the natural waist and extends slightly over the hips, creating a flattering hourglass shape. Its adjustable spaghetti straps criss-cross in the back, giving you control over the fit and support.
The Jana uses thick straps that are bra-friendly and secure, so you can dance without worry. It does not have a defined waist seam, relying instead on the dress's drape and the asymmetric ruffles to create shape.
