FAQs

What is an abaya?

An abaya is a traditional modest garment that is worn by Muslim women, sometimes called abaya dresses.

Abayas typically feature a loose-fitting design to allow for free movement and provide modesty.

They come in a variety of designs, from simple everyday styles to embellished garments for special occasions.

Are abayas suitable for any occasion?

Yes! Our collection includes abayas for all types of occasions, from casual daily wear to formal events.

Can non-Muslims wear abayas?

Yes, abayas aren’t only exclusive to the Muslim community.

These can be worn by anyone of any faith who is looking for modest and modern-style clothing.

How do I choose the right size abaya?

To make sure you choose the right size abaya, measure your height with measuring tape, starting from the top of your head to the tip of your toes.

Then, measure your bust by wrapping the tape around your chest to the fullest part of your bust, ensuring it's parallel to the ground. After that, measure the narrowest part of your waist and the fullest part of your hips.

What is the difference between an abaya and a jilbab?

Abayas and jilbabs are both popular items worn by Muslim women, but they have distinct differences.

Abayas are typically worn over slip dresses or regular clothing and come in various styles, from open and closed abayas to special occasion abayas. They feature a loose-fitting design and extend to the floor, often featuring a crewneck.

In contrast, jilbabs at a one-piece item designed to be worn from the head to the bottom.
