How to measure
Every abaya we make is cut for one woman. There is no small, medium or large — there is your length, your shoulder, your bust, your sleeve. Five measurements, ten minutes, and it will fit you the way nothing off a rail ever has.
The five measurements
-
1
Shoulder
Straight across the back, from the bone at the edge of one shoulder to the other. Not over the arms.
-
2
Sleeve opening
Around the wrist where you want the sleeve to end. Ours is cut at 10 cm unless you ask for something else — wider for a flowing sleeve, narrower for a close one.
-
3
Bust
Around the fullest part, over light clothing. Let the tape sit — don't tighten it. We add the ease ourselves.
-
4
Hem
How wide you want the abaya to fall at the bottom. Wider gives more movement, narrower gives a straighter line.
-
5
Length
From the top of the shoulder, beside the neck, straight down to the heel. If you wear heels most of the time, measure in them.
If you are not sure of the length
Length is the one people find hardest to picture. Find your height in the first column and use the length beside it as a starting point.
| Your height | Abaya length | Same length |
|---|---|---|
| 152 cm | 52 in | 132 cm |
| 156 cm | 53 in | 135 cm |
| 158 cm | 54 in | 137 cm |
| 161 cm | 55 in | 140 cm |
| 163 cm | 56 in | 142 cm |
| 165 cm | 57 in | 145 cm |
| 168 cm | 58 in | 147 cm |
| 170 cm | 59 in | 150 cm |
| 173 cm | 60 in | 152 cm |
| 178 cm | 61 in | 155 cm |
| 180 cm | 62 in | 157 cm |
| 183 cm | 63 in | 160 cm |
Both columns are the same length, written two ways — take whichever your tape measure uses. If you are between two lengths, choose the longer one. An abaya can be taken up; it cannot be let down.
Before you order
- Measure over light clothing, never over a coat or a thick jumper.
- Have someone else take the shoulder and the length — measuring your own back is how mistakes happen.
- Send your body measurements, not the measurements of an abaya you already own.
- We cut exactly to what you send, so read them back once before you press order.
Not sure? Ask before you order.
Send us your height and we will talk it through — it takes a minute and it is far easier than remaking a garment. Message us on WhatsApp or from the contact page.
Your abaya is ready 7 to 10 days after you order — that is simply how long it takes to make something that fits one woman and no one else.

Black with a blush lapel, blush cuffs and a blush placket running down the inside — so the colour only shows where the abaya opens and moves. It is a quieter way to wear pink than wearing pink.
The beaded loops across the front are hand-set and sit close to the fabric, catching light without shine. Close up they are the reason this one costs more than the plain black.

- Colours: black, with blush lapels, cuffs and placket
- Detail: black beaded loop motifs across the front
- Cut: made to your measurements — there is no small, medium or large

Sending it to someone
An Eid abaya, a wedding abaya, an abaya for the photographs. Send it to someone with an occasion coming and nothing right to wear to it. Cut to her measurements. We deliver across the UAE, send it home to Ethiopia and ship worldwide.
