“He took my ideas and made them into a set of sketches from which I picked and then he took that version to the next level. This resulted in an hourglass fit that was actually comfortable and had my husband's jaw to the ground.”

Nana, in her bespoke midnight-blue sequinned lace Kosibah evening gown with a plunging neckline, smiles as she holds hands with her husband, celebrating a special birthday in Florida.

Nana’s evening gown

A celebration of curves, confidence and timeless glamour, this bespoke Kosibah evening gown was created especially for Nana.

Crafted from sumptuous midnight-blue sequinned lace with intricate geometric motifs, the gown features a beautifully sculpted plunging neckline, complemented by exquisitely beaded shoulder straps and neckline detailing.

Kosibah’s signature internal corsetry creates a defined yet comfortable hourglass silhouette, gently contouring the figure before flowing into an elegant floor-length skirt with a subtle train.

Designed in close collaboration with Nana, the gown embodies the essence of the Kosibah couture experience: exceptional fit, meticulous craftsmanship and a design that makes its wearer feel extraordinary.
