Perfect for a Habesha wedding dress or a high-end engagement party, this garment transforms traditional artistry into a contemporary fashion masterpiece.

​Authentic Craftsmanship & Luxurious Materials

​The upper bodice features a rich, structured brocade fabric, heavily adorned with a shimmering gold thread geometric pattern that catches the light beautifully. This contrasts perfectly with the skirt, made from lightweight, flowy, and breathable handwoven Ethiopian cotton. The fabric is soft against the skin, allowing for easy movement and all-day comfort, whether you are dancing at a cultural festival or standing for long hours during a wedding ceremony.

​The lower panel (skirt) is a bright, ethereal white, which is subtly sheer yet lined, creating a dramatic and fashionable silhouette. The skirt features a modern front slit, a contemporary touch that enhances mobility and style. The gold theme is elegantly carried through to the skirt's hemline, featuring a thick, matching gold border.
