This blue habesha kemis reimagines the Ethiopian traditional dress in a mermaid silhouette — fitted through the bodice and hips before flaring into a dramatic skirt that was made for grand entrances — and every piece is custom-made to your exact bust, waist, hip, and height so the contour lands precisely where it should. Designed for Ethiopian and Eritrean women in the diaspora who refuse to choose between cultural identity and contemporary glamour, this Ethiopian dress belongs on a gala stage.
The structured fabric holds the mermaid shape with authority while remaining comfortable through an entire evening, and hand-stitched tibeb embroidery traces the neckline and flared hem in a tilet pattern that anchors the gown firmly in Habesha heritage. This is the dress for black-tie galas and cultural fundraising events where Ethiopian and Eritrean communities gather in their finest, for Ashenda celebrations that call for something beyond the everyday, and for New Year's Eve parties where standing out is the only acceptable option. Each kemis is handcrafted by skilled Ethiopian artisans who understand how to marry a fashion-forward silhouette with the embroidery traditions that give the garment its soul.
Submit your bust, waist, hip, and height at checkout and the kemis is cut and sewn exclusively to those measurements — no generic sizing, no compromises. HabeshaDress.store ships to Ethiopian and Habesha communities across the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Ships worldwide from Ethiopia with full tracking.
