Made in Nigeria, for your moment.
Ẹwà is Yoruba for beauty. Ewa House is a curated home for independent African labels, starting in Nigeria, bringing their event wear to the US.
Every piece is cut and sewn to the measurements you send, with embellishment, beading and finishing done by hand in the brand's own studio. One piece, made for you, by the people whose work it is.

How to measure
Pick your nearest size (XS–L ≈ US 2–12) or choose Custom. After checkout we'll ask for bust, waist, hips, shoulder, sleeve, length and height, in inches. Measure over light underwear with a soft tape held snug, not tight.
