Saiid Kobeisy Gowns: The Edit, Sizing and What to Buy

A Saiid Kobeisy gown is a floor-length evening dress from the Beirut couture house, usually cut in crepe, tulle, lace, brocade, velvet and georgette, and finished by hand with embroidery, beading and crystal. At Coveti the gowns in this guide run from $4,380 to $9,650, every one checked against the brand’s own site on 13 October 2026. This guide covers how the house builds a gown, which silhouette suits which invitation, how the sizing works, and the twelve gowns worth knowing now, including two colourways that arrived this week.

Key facts

• The house: Saiid Kobeisy is a Beirut couture house founded by the Lebanese designer of the same name, who opened his first atelier in 2002, launched ready-to-wear in 2010, added bridal in 2015 and opened a Paris showroom in 2024.
• What defines the gowns: long columns and fitted bodices, capes and bows, and handwork applied over the cut: embroidery, beading, crystal and sequins.
• Fabrics: crepe and crepe georgette, tulle, lace, brocade, jacquard, velvet and scuba.
• Sizing: European sizes 34 to 48. EU 34 is a UK 6 and EU 46 is a UK 18; Coveti shows the UK ladder.
• Price at Coveti: $4,380 to $9,650 for the gowns in this guide on 13 October 2026.
• New this week: the Embellished Long Dress in Ivory and the Beaded Tulle Dress in Italian Plum.

How Saiid Kobeisy builds a gown

Kobeisy trained his house on private couture clients before ready-to-wear existed, and the gowns still carry that order of work. The cut comes first: a straight column, a fitted bodice with a full skirt, an off-shoulder fold, a halter. The handwork is then laid over the cut rather than woven into the cloth, so the embroidery follows the line of the body. On the Embellished Long Dress in Ivory the light gold and black metallic embroidery runs along the neckline, the bust and the side seams, which is why a plain crepe column reads as couture at ten paces.

The second habit is weight. Beaded tulle gowns such as the Strapless Beaded Tulle Dress in Light Gold are beaded from bodice to hem in tiered bands, so the skirt falls straight and moves as one piece. That weight is part of the look: it keeps a column clean on a staircase and stops a slit from flaring.

The third is the extra element. Capes, bows, detachable sleeves and boleros turn up season after season. They change how a gown photographs, and several can be removed, which gives one dress two lives across a wedding weekend.

The Saiid Kobeisy gowns to know now

1. Saiid Kobeisy Embellished Long Dress in Ivory, $6,960

New this week. A long-sleeved ivory crepe column with a thigh-high slit, sheer panels at the waist and light gold and black metallic embroidery traced along the neckline, bust and sides. The most covered gown in the edit, and the one to choose for an evening ceremony, a civil wedding party and any invitation that asks for sleeves.

2. Saiid Kobeisy Beaded Tulle Dress in Italian Plum, $6,730

New this week. An off-shoulder gown with a folded neckline and a floor-length straight skirt, beaded all over in tiered bands. Italian Plum is a deep red-purple that holds its colour under candlelight. Only one size is in stock at the brand right now, so it will not last.

3. Saiid Kobeisy Strapless Beaded Tulle Dress in Light Gold, $6,730

The strapless version of the beaded tulle column, in light gold. It is the brightest gown in the edit and the classic Kobeisy answer to a black-tie dress code.

4. Saiid Kobeisy Fully Embellished Dress in Jet Black, $6,960

Fully embellished from neckline to hem in jet black. For the guest who wants sparkle but not colour; it suits a gala, an awards dinner and a winter wedding.

5. Saiid Kobeisy Embroidered Lace Long Sleeve Dress in Jet Black, $4,560

Jet black lace with embroidery, a high neck, long sleeves and a floor-length straight skirt with a slit. The most practical gown here for modest dress codes.

6. Saiid Kobeisy Halter Neck Embroidered Crepe Dress in Reed, $9,650

A halter-neck crepe gown in Reed, a soft sage green, with embroidery placed along the body. The most expensive gown in the edit and the most architectural.

7. Saiid Kobeisy Embroidered Strapless Padded Crepe Dress in Off White, $5,760

Strapless padded crepe in off white with embroidery. The padding gives the bodice a sculpted line without a corset, so it reads clean and modern.

8. Saiid Kobeisy Embellished Off-Shoulder Dress in Salsa Rosa, $4,380

Embellished off-shoulder dress in Salsa Rosa, a warm coral pink. Pink is the brand colour most searched by Kobeisy shoppers, and this is the one to choose for a spring wedding.

9. Saiid Kobeisy One Shoulder Embroidered Crepe Dress in Jet Black, $4,740

One-shoulder embroidered crepe in jet black. The asymmetric neckline is the statement, so keep jewellery to one earring.

10. Saiid Kobeisy Embroidered Georgette Dress in Jet Black, $4,380

Embroidered georgette in jet black, a lighter, more fluid gown for warm evenings and summer events.

11. Saiid Kobeisy Brocade Bow Dress in Gold, $5,250

Gold brocade with a bow. Brocade holds its own shape, so this is the gown for a guest who wants volume without tulle.

12. Saiid Kobeisy Laser Cut Scuba Dress in Off White and Jet Black, $5,250

Laser-cut scuba in off white and jet black. The most graphic gown in the edit and a good bridge to the zebra and print looks of the Fall Winter 2026 lookbook.

Which silhouette for which invitation

Black tie and galas: a column in beading, sequins and embellishment. The Fully Embellished Dress and the strapless beaded tulle gowns are the right weight. See Saiid Kobeisy black-tie gowns for the full black-tie edit.

Weddings as a guest: colour and lighter cloth. Salsa Rosa, Reed and North Sea georgette and crepe gowns work from a garden ceremony to a ballroom dinner. Avoid ivory and off white unless the couple has asked for it. More in Saiid Kobeisy wedding guest dresses.

Modest and religious occasions: long sleeves and a high neck, as on the Embroidered Lace Long Sleeve Dress and the new Ivory column. Saiid Kobeisy long-sleeve and modest dresses covers more.

Your own engagement and a civil ceremony: the Ivory column and the off white padded crepe gown. Both read bridal without a train.

Sizing a Saiid Kobeisy gown

The house cuts in European sizes 34 to 48. Coveti converts to the UK ladder: EU 34 is a UK 6, EU 36 a UK 8, EU 38 a UK 10, EU 40 a UK 12, EU 42 a UK 14, EU 44 a UK 16 and EU 46 a UK 18. The brand’s body chart runs from an 86 cm bust, 66 cm waist and 92 cm hip at EU 34 to 110, 90 and 116 cm at EU 46. The fitted gowns are closest at the waist, so check that figure first, and remember that a fully beaded gown has almost no give. Full details in the Saiid Kobeisy size and fit guide.

Caring for a beaded gown

Specialist dry clean only, and tell the cleaner where the beading and embroidery sit. Store beaded tulle flat between tissue, never on a hanger for long, because the weight of the beads will stretch the shoulders. Steam crepe from the inside and never press embroidery directly.
