CHATS by C.Dam Virginia Dress in White
The CHATS by C.Dam Virginia Dress in White is an authentic piece from the Spring Summer 2026 collection, cut in single jersey knit and made in Vietnam. It is available now at Coveti, a curated luxury-fashion retailer specialising in designer ready-to-wear with guaranteed authenticity and worldwide shipping.
A form-fitting long dress featuring symmetrical draping at the bust and hips, accented with a refined metal accessory. The fabric is single jersey knit, and the piece is made in Vietnam. The line is sculpted rather than draped loosely, so the dress holds its shape on the body. Details: padded cape, sleeveless, light padding, symmetrical draping centered around a metal detail and symmetrical draping contours the waist to create a focal point before flowing fluidly toward the hem.
Cuong Dam trained as an architect before he turned to clothes, and CHATS by C.Dam is cut the way a building is drawn. Drapes are fixed into the pattern, shoulders are structured, and polished metal hardware marks the point where the folds meet.

About CHATS by C.Dam
CHATS by C.Dam is the ready-to-wear label of Vietnamese designer Cuong Dam. He graduated from the Hanoi University of Architecture in 2013 and opened CHATS in Hanoi with a group of friends soon after. His fashion house, CDAM, dates its founding to 2014.
The house describes its work as sculpture translated into tailoring. In practice that means long, close-cut dresses with draping that converges at the hip, padded shoulders, attached shawls and polished metal hardware. The collections are produced in Vietnam.
Colour is part of the signature. Each style tends to come in several shades, from black and white to cerulean blue, maroon red and chartreuse green, so a single silhouette can move from evening to the boardroom with a change of shade.
“The cut is precise and the fabric carries it. The CHATS by C.Dam Virginia Dress in White is built rather than simply sewn. It holds its line all evening and needs almost nothing added to it.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti
