Saiid Kobeisy long-sleeve and modest evening dresses, by season

Posted by author-avatar

Saiid Kobeisy is a Beirut house that dresses the Gulf, and a covered evening dress is not a compromise in its range, it is a category: long sleeves cut in the dress fabric with the embroidery carried onto them, high necks with a bow, kaftans, and capes that cover the back and the shoulder without a jacket. This page lists every covered piece at Coveti, 108 on 20 September 2026 from $490 to $16,075, 16 by season, and says which are opaque, which are lined and where a sleeve is sheer, because a modest dress is a matter of fact and not of description.

“Weaving in inspiration from faraway cultures, the house’s works are a striking mélange of opposites, where the modern meets the classic, the sensual softens the bold, and the unexpected twist makes a lasting impression,” the house writes on saiidkobeisy.com.

Reading coverage on the product page

The house describes every piece by neckline, sleeve and length, so the coverage can be read before ordering: “long sleeves” on crepe and velvet means opaque; on tulle and lace it means sheer over a lined body; “halter neck” means the shoulder is bare; “cape” means the back is covered from behind. For a mosque wedding and an iftar, the kaftans and the long-sleeved crepe and velvet are the fully covered pieces. The Eid and Ramadan page and the mother-of-the-bride page are written for those evenings.
