Zuhair Murad at Coveti has the five embroidered pieces, from the Embroidered Top in Black and Silver to the Embroidered Cady Dress in Eggnog and Silver, plus earlier embroidered styles. This is how the work is made and how to wear it, with more in embellished tops and beaded gowns.

How the embroidery is made
The house lists the decoration separately from the cloth on each piece: on the embroidered top it is 65 percent acrylic and 35 percent polyester, and on the jacket glass fibre is added to the mix. The beads and stones are applied to a stretch viscose blend that holds its line under the weight, and the pieces are lined in silk so the back of the embroidery never touches the skin. All five are made in Beirut; read where Zuhair Murad is made.
Earlier embroidered pieces still in stock
The Embroidered Jacket from Resort 2026, the Embroidered Mini Dress and the Embroidered Corset from Pre-Fall 2026, and the Beaded Cady Skirt carry the same idea in other colours.
How to wear embroidery
Let the embroidery be the jewellery. Wear a stud earring and no necklace. Pair an embroidered top with a plain skirt in the same colour, and keep the shoe simple. For the full look, the top and skirt together read as a gown. For more ideas, see embellished tops, embellished skirts and embellished blazers.
Caring for embroidered pieces
Dry clean only, and tell the cleaner the piece is embroidered. Store it flat in tissue, not on a hanger, so the weight of the beads does not stretch the cloth. Keep it away from perfume and hairspray, which can dull the stones.
