This ensemble, featuring a stunning Habesha Kemis and a matching gentleman's outfit, is designed for couples who wish to embody regal sophistication on their most significant day—perfect for a Mels ceremony, engagement, or formal cultural event.

​The Empress's Gown and Cape

​The woman's attire is a harmonious blend of modernity and heritage. The ensemble includes a sophisticated white skirt that is full-length and flowing, often made from soft, handwoven Ethiopian cotton (Shemma).

​The focal point is the magnificent black velvet cape. This cape is lavishly adorned with intricate silver and black embroidery (or gold/black depending on interpretation of the black-and-white photo) along the high collar, chest panel, and dramatic hemline. The handwoven Ethiopian dress aesthetic is completed by the black bodice and the matching black and silver/gold Tibeb that frames the white skirt's hem. This is a truly majestic Ethiopian bridal dress option.

​ The Emperor's Regal Ensemble

​The gentleman's matching outfit is designed to complement the grandeur of the bride's attire. He wears a streamlined black shirt and trousers, lending a contemporary sharpness.
