Collection: DO LONG

What is in the DO LONG collection

Most of the page is midi dresses in two cuts: the sheath and the pegged silhouette that narrows toward the hem. The Crimson Grace Sheath Twisted Satin Midi Dress by DO LONG and the Scarlet Shell Pegged Corset Waist Crepe Midi Dress are the red cocktail options. The Cloud Whisper Pegged Puffy Sleeved Satin Midi Dress adds volume at the shoulder. For sleeves, see the Vance Pegged Long Sleeved Synthetic Midi Dress and the Regal Rouge Sheath Cap Sleeved Velvet Midi Set.

Mini dresses are mostly taffeta: the Red Poison Bubble Straight Across Neck Taffeta Mini Dress, the Rhea A-line Long Sleeved Organza Mini Dress and the Kaydence A-line Sequin Kate Mini Dress. Full-length pieces include the Mira Wrap Halter Neck Taffeta Floor Length Dress, the Cici Asymmetric Side Slit Taffeta Floor Length Dress and the Phoenix Strapless Sweetheart Neck Velvet Ankle Length Dress.

About the label

DO LONG is a Vietnamese house built on tailored silhouettes. The dresses are cut from taffeta, linen, lace and similar fabrics and are shaped closely to the body. Twisted bodices, corset waists and contrasting collars are the house signature.

When to wear DO LONG

The red midi dresses are built for cocktail hours, engagement dinners and holiday parties; see more in women's party clothing. The white and ivory styles such as the Ivory Grace Blouson Off-Shoulder Taffeta Mini Dress suit bridal showers and civil ceremonies; the white midi dress page has more. For black tie, go to the Mira and Cici floor length taffeta dresses or browse couture dresses and evening gowns. Puffy sleeved styles like Cloud Whisper sit in the puffy dress edit. Customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait often pick the long sleeved midi dresses and the ankle length velvet gowns, which cover well for Ramadan and Eid gatherings.

Which DO LONG dress works for a wedding guest?

For a daytime wedding, the Cloud Whisper satin midi or the Floral Whisper Sheath Mandarin Neck Khaki Midi Dress keep things polished without competing with the bride. For an evening reception, the Crimson Grace satin sheath or the Phoenix velvet gown. More options are in the wedding guest edit.

How do the pegged and sheath cuts fit?

Both are close to the body. The sheath is straight from bust to hem. The pegged cut is fuller at the hip and tapers in at the hem, which suits a narrower waist and a fuller hip. If you are between sizes, order the larger size; taffeta does not stretch.
