“Formal gown shopping will never be the same after my experience with Yemi. The attention to detail and the absolutely divine finishings make a Kosibah gown a true keepsake. I had the pleasure of having a custom Kosibah gown made for a special occasion, and I have never felt more beautiful!”

Jackie, New Jersey, stands beside a man in a gold brocade dinner jacket seated at a piano in a gilded room. She wears a bespoke Kosibah evening gown in black lace with gold and black sequins and a sheer black organza cape that streams out to the side.

Jackie’s evening gown

An exquisite statement in black and gold, Jackie’s bespoke Kosibah evening gown combines sculptural elegance with dramatic, fluid movement.

Crafted from intricately embellished black lace featuring sweeping patterns of shimmering gold and black sequins, the gown is designed with a figure-enhancing silhouette and an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline. Delicately ruched fabric across the bodice converges at the waist, where an ornate black beaded brooch creates a striking focal point.

A dramatic, detachable cape of sheer black organza falls gracefully from the shoulders to the floor, adding ethereal volume and movement while allowing the sleek silhouette of the gown to remain visible beneath.

A celebration of individuality, meticulous craftsmanship and the distinctive Kosibah approach to couture occasionwear.
