How to Style the Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 by Body Type
- Rectangle: Kobeisy builds the waist into the seaming, so the Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 in Red creates shape on a straight frame without a belt. A cape and a fitted bodice are the house answer to a rectangle.
- Hourglass: The fitted bodice and defined waist that run through the collection are drafted for this line. Take your usual size and let the cut do the work.
- Tall: The floor-length columns and long capes in the collection are made for height. A cape falling from the shoulder keeps the proportion in balance.
- Petite: Kobeisy places embroidery high, at the neckline and shoulder, which lifts the eye. Choose the fitted shapes over the fullest volumes, and note that the house offers hem alterations on request.

About Saiid Kobeisy
Saiid Kobeisy is a Lebanese house built on evening couture, founded in Beirut by the couturier of the same name. He began designing for private clients in 2000, opened his first atelier in Beirut in 2002, showed his first couture collection in 2005 and launched the ready-to-wear line in 2010. Dubai followed in 2012, bridal in 2015, and in 2024 the house opened a Paris showroom on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and a new headquarters in Beirut Central District that holds the showroom, studio and atelier under one roof. The house is known for cascading silhouettes, dramatic capes and bows, and handcrafted embroidery worked over crepe and tulle. The house sets the classic against the modern and softens the bold with the sensual, cutting for the way a woman moves through a room. Saiid Kobeisy is a Coveti editor favourite for galas and black-tie evenings, wedding-guest dressing, and the Gulf and Riviera events circuit, and a recurring choice for women buying ready-to-wear they intend to keep.
“Kobeisy is one of the Beirut houses that still cuts ready-to-wear with a couture hand. The Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 holds its line when the wearer moves, and that is what you are paying for.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti

the Spring Summer 2026 couture collection for the 2026 Actor Awards. The ready-to-wear

wardrobe rather than a one-night commission.

What is Saiid Kobeisy known for?
Saiid Kobeisy (Beirut, Lebanon, founded by the Beirut couturier Saiid Kobeisy, who opened his first atelier in 2002 and launched ready-to-wear in 2010) is known for cascading silhouettes, dramatic capes and bows, and handcrafted embroidery worked over crepe and tulle.

The house is headquartered in Beirut Central District, where the showroom, studio and atelier share one building, and it keeps showrooms in Dubai Design District, on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris, and in Riyadh. The label sells in more than 35 countries and has been on Farfetch since 2019.
What fabric is the Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 made from?
The Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 is crafted from velvet with crystal. Kobeisy works in crepe, tulle, lace, brocade, taffeta and velvet, with embroidery, beading and crystal applied over the cut rather than woven in, which is why the pieces move the way they do.
How should I care for the Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36?
Dry clean only. Hang on a padded hanger, steam rather than press, and never fold with the pile compressed. Point the cleaner to the crystal and never press it directly. Embroidered and beaded eveningwear should go to a specialist dry cleaner, never a domestic wash, and the trim should never be pressed directly. Store it on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight, with nothing heavy resting against the embroidery.
Is Saiid Kobeisy ready-to-wear the same as the couture?
No. The house runs three lines. Couture and bridal couture are made to order through the Beirut, Dubai, Paris and Riyadh showrooms. Ready-to-wear, which is what Coveti sells, is cut in a standard EU 34 to 48 size run and ships from stock, so the Velvet Long Dress in Burgundy, Style 36 arrives in days rather than months. The embroidery, capes and cascading volume are the same house language at a wearable price.
Does Coveti ship Saiid Kobeisy internationally?
Yes. Coveti ships Saiid Kobeisy worldwide with express options through DHL Express and FedEx International Priority. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes the customer the importer of record for local duties and taxes. The full terms are in the logistics and returns protocol.
