About Party

What counts as party wear here

Gown dresses lead, then maxi, midi and mini dresses, sets and blazers. Most pieces are sleeveless, with a real selection of long-sleeved, bishop-sleeved and cape styles.

CEM sets the tone for a late-night event: the Thaliris Bodycon Sweetheart Neck Mesh Floor Length Dress, the Dahlisca Bodycon Halter Neck Crepe Mini Dress and the Twila Straight Jewel Neck Satin Mini Dress. CEM also makes the covered Kaelis Sheath Bishop Sleeved Crepe Floor Length Dress and the Cairo A-line Bishop Sleeved Chiffon Ankle Length Dress. TRACY STUDIO is the formal-party label: the Zoe Ball Gown Sequin Duchess Satin Extra Long Length Dress, the Radiai A-line Long Sleeved Velvet Satin Maxi Dress and the Elliana Cape Semi-Heart Neck Velvet Satin Floor Length Set. Its Sophia Straight Sweetheart Neck Crepe Midi Dress is the easier cocktail length.

For dinner parties, Rosee de Matin offers the Anna A-line Ruffled Velvet Knee-length Dress and the Claire A-line Pleated Lace Midi Dress. SORAMAME13 makes the Glimpse Asymmetric Straight Across Neck Velvet High-low Dress and the Journi A-line Long Sleeved Brocade Knee-length Dress. HA THANH VIET brings the Xoxila Asymmetric Flower Applique Silk Satin Floor Length Dress, and LE THANH HOA the Obsidian High Neck Fringe Set for anyone who prefers separates.

How to dress for the party

Match the length to the invitation: midi or knee length for cocktails and birthday dinners, floor length for a gala or ballroom, mini and bodycon for a club night or rooftop. Velvet satin suits cooler months, mesh and chiffon suit summer.

Gulf customers tend to pick the long-sleeved and cape pieces from TRACY STUDIO and CEM, which suit family gatherings and Eid evenings as they are. US and Australian customers lean toward the mini and midi dresses. Every piece is made to order, so hem, sleeve and neckline can be adjusted.

What should I wear to a cocktail party?

A midi or knee-length dress in crepe, lace or velvet, such as the Sophia midi from TRACY STUDIO or the Anna knee-length from Rosee de Matin. Keep accessories small and let the fabric do the work.

Is there party wear with sleeves and a high neck?

Yes. Look for bishop sleeved, long sleeved, cape and high neck in the titles: the Kaelis and Cairo from CEM, the Radiai from TRACY STUDIO and the Journi from SORAMAME13.
