MyAbishai: Custom Wedding Gowns, Special Occasion Dresses, and Expert Alterations.

A Special Announcement: The Legacy of MyAbishai

After years of creating one-of-a-kind gowns and unforgettable moments, MyAbishai has officially closed. What began as a local bridal studio grew into an internationally recognized name in custom design — earning multiple awards and touching lives through craftsmanship and care.

Though the doors have closed, the legacy remains. This gallery, heirloom wedding gown page, awards archive exist to honor the artistry, dedication, and clients who made MyAbishai so meaningful.

Thank you to every bride, family, and supporter who became part of this journey.
The spirit of creation continues through Fatima Bey’s MindShift Universe, where transformation now happens from the inside out.
