The Owambe Sequin Cape Dress

There are dresses you wear, and there are dresses that transform a room the moment you enter. The Owambe Sequin Cape Dress belongs to the second group.

Crafted in black net and finished with light silver sequins, this dress is a masterpiece of texture and movement. The cape silhouette drapes softly over the body, the sleeves sit lower, closer to the waist, creating that effortless, dramatic flow that Kemi Telford women love.

The dress itself is stitched with care by Helen, our Nigerian seamstress, ensuring the finish is as exquisite on the inside as it is on the outside. The back is detailed with beaded edging and ties that add a touch of softness.

Underneath, a stretch poly slip provides comfort and coverage. The sequined net floats above it, giving you that ethereal, light-as-air feel while still being incredibly wearable.

We made very limited quantities.

Before You Order

Will this dress fit true to size?

This is a one-size style with two layers that fit differently. The black sequin cape shell is designed to float loosely over the body and is very generous, with an 80" chest. The inner slip, which is what actually touches your body, is a more fitted 40" chest. Check the slip measurement against your own body for the best guide to fit.

Does the fabric stretch?

The sequined net shell does not stretch. The inner slip is a stretch poly, so it has some give.
