This white habesha dress is an expression of refined elegance — a sleeveless, tailored bodice with a clean scoop neckline that flows into a beautifully pleated, full skirt, giving it a silhouette that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Ethiopian tradition. Every piece is custom-made to your exact measurements, so the fit is as intentional as the design itself. It was made for Ethiopian and Eritrean women in the diaspora who want to wear their heritage with confidence and grace.
The defining feature of this habesha dress is its intricate tilf embroidery — a shimmering metallic gold border that traces the neckline, follows the V-shaped waistline, and closes at the hemline with a bold gold band that draws the eye downward in the most striking way. This is the kind of detail that distinguishes a handcrafted Ethiopian dress from anything mass-produced, and it is the work of skilled Ethiopian artisans who have spent years perfecting the tilf weave on traditional looms. The dress comes paired with a matching lightweight white netela trimmed in gold, offering a versatile layer that can be worn across the shoulders for church, draped loosely for a wedding reception, or styled closer for Timkat and Fasika gatherings. The breathable, soft traditional fabric keeps you comfortable from ceremony through celebration without sacrificing a single detail of the look.
To place your order, provide your bust, waist, hip, and height measurements at checkout — your made-to-measure dress will be cut to those dimensions exactly.
