Ethiopia
An Ethiopian bride typically wears a dress called “habesha kemis.” This dress is quite long, reaching the ankles, and is handwoven from cotton fabric. It often features beautiful patterns with woven-in gold details and numerous colors.
Regardless of whether the bride chooses a traditional wedding dress or a modern white one, the “kaba” jacket is a mandatory element of the wedding ceremony for both the bride and groom. The jacket is adorned with gold or silver embroidery and can be either short or long, similar to a wedding gown train.
