Shop the Amsale Collection
The story starts with a single wedding dress. Ahead of her own marriage in 1985, Ethiopian-born designer Amsale Aberra found the decade's trending gowns to be overly embellished and, instead, sought something that exuded pared-down luxury. Thus, the first Amsale dress was born--many would even credit her as the inventor of the modern wedding dress. In the decades since, her refined, sophisticated style lives on in the Black-owned brand's collection of special-occasion dresses and formal gowns.
What makes Amsale dresses so special? Amsale gowns are both opulent and timeless, crafted with a tireless attention to detail in luxe fabrics like crepe, faille, and satin. Every piece is undeniably feminine, featuring romantic draping, classic hues, and waist-nipping silhouettes. Amsale bridesmaids dresses let you stand out in the crowd (without stealing the bride's spotlight!) thanks to understated-yet-distinctive designs.
