Saiid Kobeisy one-shoulder, strapless and off-shoulder dresses, by season

Posted by author-avatar

The bare shoulder is how the house balances its capes: a dress covered from behind and open at the shoulder in front, embroidered along the line the shoulder makes. The one-shoulder is the house’s most photographed neckline, on embroidered crepe and tulle with a cascade of ruffles and a bow at the shoulder; the strapless pieces carry crystal at the neckline and a sculpted bodice; the off-shoulder pieces are the velvet and satin winter dresses. Coveti has 115 bare-shouldered dresses on 20 September 2026, from $490 to $9,650, and this page lists 16 by season.

“With cascading silhouettes, dynamic cuts and elegant handcrafted touches, Saiid Kobeisy gives expression to every facet of the modern-day woman, from her fearless ambition and passion, to her riveting charm and strength,” the house writes on its The House page.

Key facts

  • One-shoulder: embroidered crepe and tulle with a single sleeve, a ruffle and a bow at the shoulder; the house’s most photographed neckline
  • Strapless: crystal at the neckline on the Spring Summer 2026 crepe, sculpted bodices on the taffeta and beaded tulle
  • Off-shoulder: the velvet, satin and lame winter dresses, and the crepe midi with a tulle bow
  • Asymmetric: the brocade and embroidered dresses with a single strap and a high-low hem
  • A structured bodice does the holding; the strapless pieces fit close at the bust, so check the chart

How to wear a bare shoulder

With the hair up and the ear bare on the embroidered side, and with nothing at the neck; the neckline is the point. A strapless Kobeisy is built with a structured bodice and needs no strapless bra beyond a light one; a one-shoulder wants the single earring on the bare side. For a church and a mosque, the cape versions cover the shoulder from behind while leaving it bare in front. The cocktail page has the short strapless pieces and the black-tie page the long ones.
