Collection: KALISA

Couture shapes and 3D detail

KALISA dresses are designed for a big entrance. Its couture bandeau gowns use 3D flowers, petals and bows, as on the Bella Couture Bandeau Maxi Dress With 3D Orchid Petal, the Snow-whisper corset maxi with 3D petal layers and the Cindra Couture Bandeau 3D Bows Maxi Dress. The Asha and Ember couture dresses are dual style designs that come with a veil.

Corsetry is a signature. The Laya Sweetheart Maxi Dress pairs a corset bodice with tiered ruffles, the Madre Mermaid Set adds a detachable bolero to a tulle mermaid skirt, and the Bridget Mermaid Maxi Dress sets rhinestones on velvet. In silk, look at the Magnifique fishtail gown with an oversized organza bow and the Calanthe crystal moiré silk mermaid gown.

For shorter looks, KALISA makes sequin and crystal mini dresses such as Dazzle, Afterdark and the Cat-Eye Neckline Crystal Embellished Mini Dress, along with ribbon minis like Goldie and Harper. The line also includes leather sets, the Cozy Red Trench Coat and statement blazers.

How to wear KALISA

The couture gowns and mermaid sets are made for weddings as a guest, anniversaries and festive evenings. Sequin and crystal minis fit cocktail parties and birthdays. For Ramadan evenings, a long-sleeved style gives more cover, such as the Brocade Applique Maxi Dress with its square neckline and covered buttons. Keep accessories minimal, since many pieces already carry crystals, beads or feathers.
