Edition by Gemy Maalouf: What It Is and Whether It Is Worth It

Edition is the second line of the Beirut couture house Gemy Maalouf. It keeps the house shapes (draped necklines, cape sleeves, beaded waists) but works in satin, crepe and jacquard with lighter embellishment, so its gowns cost roughly half as much as the main line. At Coveti, Fall Winter 2026 Edition gowns run from $3,100 to $4,160. If you want a Gemy Maalouf gown for a wedding, a gala and a dinner without paying for hand embroidery, Edition is the place to start.

• Edition style codes start ED; main-line codes start GM. Fall Winter 2026 Edition is coded EDFW27.
• The brand lists 24 Edition listings (styles and colourways) for Fall Winter 2026, and Coveti carries all 24.
• Edition dresses at Coveti: $3,100 to $4,160, median $3,460. Main-line dresses: $3,990 to $10,510, median $5,930.
• Both lines share the same atelier, the same US 2 to 20 run and the same size chart.

How Edition differs from the main line

The cut is the same; the work is not. A main-line piece like the Gemy Maalouf Corseted Sculptural Hip Dress in Black carries a hand-beaded corset and sculpted hips. An Edition piece like the Gemy Maalouf Bateau-Neck Satin Dress in Silver uses double satin, an asymmetric drape and a cape back, and leaves the fabric to do most of the talking. Where Edition does use beading, it is placed: a neckline, a waist band, a shoulder brooch.

The Edition gowns worth buying

For black tie

The Gemy Maalouf Wide-Strap Beaded Dress in Black is fully beaded on crepe with wide straps, the most embellished Edition piece at $3,990. The Gemy Maalouf Beaded Illusion Dress in Navy Blue has a sheer illusion neckline and all-over beaded motifs at $4,160.

For a winter wedding

The Gemy Maalouf Beaded Waist Dress in Blush covers the arms, contours the waist with beading and flares at the hem. It also comes as the Gemy Maalouf Beaded Waist Dress in Black and the Gemy Maalouf Beaded Waist Dress in Blue. For a guest who wants colour, the Gemy Maalouf Cape Overlay Dress in Emerald with its cape sleeves is the one. More ideas in our winter wedding guest dress guide.

For drama on a budget

The Gemy Maalouf Feathered Shoulder Dress in Black has a feathered shoulder and a floor-length sleeve at $3,280. The Gemy Maalouf Draped Brooch Dress in Black adds a crystal feathered brooch at the shoulder for $3,100, the lowest price in the season.

Jacquard

The Gemy Maalouf Strapless Jacquard Dress in Champagne has sculptural jacquard panels rising from the skirt; the Gemy Maalouf V-Neck Jacquard Dress in Dusty Pink has pockets and a sheer skirt. See our jacquard dress guide for how the fabric wears.

Is Edition worth it?

Yes, if you value the house silhouette over the handwork. The satins and crepes are heavy enough to hang straight, and the shapes are the same ones the main line uses. Choose the main line when the embellishment is the point, as with the feathers and lace in our Fall Winter 2026 collection guide.

The Edition shapes, explained

Four silhouettes repeat across the line, and knowing them makes the choice easier.

The drape

An asymmetric neckline gathered at one shoulder, as on the Gemy Maalouf One-Shoulder Slit Dress in Navy Blue and the Gemy Maalouf One-Shoulder Satin Dress in Light Blue. It flatters a straight frame by adding a diagonal line.

The column

A slim, fitted shape from bust to hem: the Gemy Maalouf Beaded Neckline Dress in Emerald and the Gemy Maalouf Off-Shoulder Beaded Dress in Black. Choose it if you are tall and want the fabric to do the work.

The cape

A strapless base with a cape over the shoulders, as on the Gemy Maalouf Cape Overlay Dress in Black and its emerald twin. It gives cover for a religious ceremony without sleeves.

The structured skirt

Jacquard panels and dropped waists, as on the Gemy Maalouf Off-Shoulder Jacquard Dress in Dusty Lilac in dusty lilac. It holds its shape at the hip, so it suits a pear figure.

Edition colours this season

Black (seven listings), then blush, navy and emerald (three each), champagne (two), and one each in dusty pink, blue, light blue, silver, dark grey and dusty lilac. The navy and emerald pieces are the strongest winter wedding guest choices; champagne and silver lean bridal, so check the dress code first.

Sizing and delivery

Edition shares the main line’s chart: bust and waist decide the size, and every style is made to order in US 2 to 20. Coveti lists UK 4 to 18. Check the Gemy Maalouf size guide, and see where to buy Gemy Maalouf for delivery times by region.
