The world’s your runway in this striking red piece, the Cape Cut Out Cheongsam in Red.

The brand has evolved over the years and has expanded its range of offerings to include swimwear as well as mother and daughter coordinated outfits. Play dress up with your girl on CNY; with those twinning dresses, your relatives will be able to identify her from the crowd of boisterous kids across the room.
