Joyce Wong v Daphne Iking

First time to have local bloggers for comparison.

Both are wearing dress from online site Doublewoot. My guess is both of them have been sponsored by Doublewoot. If you are interested, you can check out their blog for further details. Pictures are taken from Doublewoot facebook page.

Daphne Iking is wearing a soft pink with the ribbon sash while Joyce Wong went for a more funky look with red colour and no girly ribbon sash.

Doublewoot

As promised, here is the review on Doublewoot. Sorry for the delay, needed more time to gather the pictures and information.


Doublewoot is a local online site based in Penang. They used to be a blogshop but they launched their own website this year. The website is simple to view, not too colourful and very informative.

 They also have a facebook page and keep their customers updated with the launch of every collection. They update every Thursday and Sunday.

Doublewoot is owned by two sisters Helen and Heliene. You can find their pictures posted on their facebook page (see below). They were also featured in local newspaper the Star previously.

Their dresses are simple. Plain colours, straight forward cutting, subtle and nothing fancy. A lot of them are suitable for work wear. They are famous for selling flare dress or also known as skater dress. 

Pastel colours, making a huge wave now

Back to the 70s, polka dot comeback

Great photoshopping skill. You can see that from their pictures on facebook. All pictures looked really professional.


They sell most designer inspired pieces from Rouland Mouret, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, Karen Millen to street style Topshop and Dorothy Perkins.


Upon their success in these few years, they now have their own label as well. Here is one of their in house design, Darla.

Darla by Doublewoot - RM70.00

Their prices are average. It used to be cheaper but maybe because of the new website, a lot of dresses are at RM70.00 or more than that. When they were operating via blogshop, most of the time the price are fixed at RM69.00.


I used to be a Doublewoot customer. I purchased quite a few dresses from them but stopped doing so as I slowly see a lot of other online sites selling the same design. No matter how nice a dress is, you would not want to be caught dead in the same dress as another person IN PUBLIC. You can check out Curves Boutique, IIvory Couture, Attire Attic and Pandora DeBoutique. They sell similar designs as well.


But note on the postage! Always remember to calculate postage as cost of your dress! Don’t be lazy to do your math!


Doublewoot is now doing promotion and they are giving free Poslaju delivery and trust me, they post out your order FAST. So if you like their dresses, go and shop your hearts out! 

They also ship internationally. You can find the rates on their website.

Lately Doublewoot have been using celebrity bloggers to promote their site. Good and bad for that. More people knowing means more people buying and that would mean more people wearing the same dress around town. Well, its all up to you, if you really love the design of the dress, why not?


Plus, there is a promotion of RM5 discount now if you key in any of the codes provided in these blogs below. You will need to key in the codes upon checkout at Doublewoot's website.
