TRUST THE PROCESS – KOSIBAH MOTHER OF THE BRIDE CYNTHIA.

The creation of Mother-of-the-Bride Cynthia’s custom gown from sketch to dancing into her daughter’s wedding Reception Hall.

Cynthia wore a 3-piece ensemble to her daughter’s wedding. A pale gold organza chemise with 3/4 length sleeves, a strapless corset in pale gold duchesse satin overplayed with blue and gold guipure lace and a floor length trumpet silhuette skirt in blue duchesse satin with a modified A-line overskirt in pale gold organza. All pieces were embellished with hand-cut appliques harvested from a single piece of lace.

The look was completed with a Gele (head wrap) as a nod to her Yoruba heritage.

Wedding location – London, England.

The creation of Mother of the Bride Elizabeth’s couture outfit for her daughter’s Traditional Engagement ceremony.

Elizabeth commissioned a couture gown for her daughter’s Traditional Yoruba Engagement ceremony which took place a few days before her white wedding. I decided to create an gown that fused Yoruba and Western style elements.

The gown comprised of an off the shoulders corset bodice with 3/4 length sleeves and a trumpet silhouette skirt with a puddle train. The heavily beaded burnt orange tulle fabric with 3D flower detailing was backed with a satin underlay. I harvested some of the flowers to be hand stitched strategically throughout the gown.

The outfit was completed with a traditional head tie called a gele and shawl worn over the left shoulder in a bespoke Nigerian fabric called Aso-Oke handwoven in silk threads and embellished with pearls and burnt orange beads.

Location: The Resort At Pelican Hill, Newport Beach, CA.

Trust the process….Kosibah couture bridal gown Erato.

From sketch to runway. Years of experience with couture techniques and figure enhancing elements in pattern drafting result in the Kosibah signature hourglass silhouette and fit.

Erato is a trumpet silhouette gown featuring 3/4 length sleeves, silver grey illusion tulle bodice with a bateau neckline and plunging V back. The skirt has an above the knee slit in the centre front and a chapel length train. Hand sewn Lace appliqués embellish the gown on the bodice, sleeves and hemline of the gown.

The couture gown is perfect for a bride with minimalist, contemporary tastes getting married in a modern setting, as a Reception or Second gown or with a shorter train for a stylish Mother of the Bride or Groom.

Because Erato is a custom made gown all fabric, colour and embellishment options are endless.
