Guaranteed Safe Checkout

True to its name, Selam, meaning “peace,” this gown is designed to evoke a sense of serene elegance and effortless beauty. The dress offers a softer, more fluid silhouette that perfectly captures the spirit of the modern Ethiopian woman.

Artisan Hand-Crafted Details Crafted from premium, lightweight hand-spun menen, the Selam dress features a striking contrast of crisp white and deep, ceremonial red. The centerpiece of this design is the intricately woven waist belt, which creates a flattering, tapered look, complemented by a majestic embroidered hemline that dances with every step you take. The V-neckline and delicate shoulder draping offer a touch of Western refinement to this deeply traditional piece.

Designed for Your Life’s Big Moments. Whether you are the guest of honor at a wedding, celebrating a holiday with family, or attending a gala, the Selam dress ensures you feel both grounded in your heritage and elevated in your style.

This piece is part of our custom-made collection. You can select a standard size or provide your unique measurements at checkout for a tailored, one-of-a-kind fit.

Size Guide How To Measure

For the most accurate results, measure yourself while wearing the undergarments you plan to wear with the dress. Stand straight with your feet together and use a flexible measuring tape.

  • Chest/Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, ensuring it stays parallel to the ground. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso (about an inch above your belly button). To find it, bend slightly to the side; the crease that forms is your natural waist.
  • Hips: Measure the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. This is usually about 7–9 inches below your natural waistline.
  • Shoulders: Measure the distance between the outer edges of your shoulders, following the natural curve of your back from one shoulder point to the other.
  • Sleeve Length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the center of your back neck, over the point of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.
  • Length (Waist to Ankle): Start at your waistline and run the tape measure straight down the side of your leg to your ankle bone. This measurement is essential for determining the correct hemline for full-length dresses or gowns.

Pro-Tip: If you are between sizes, it is generally safer to size up for a more comfortable fit or choose based on the measurement that is most critical for the specific dress style (e.g., the bust for a fitted bodice or hips for a mermaid-style dress).
