Abyan FAQs
What is an abaya?
An abaya is a traditional modest garment that is worn by Muslim women, sometimes called abaya dresses.

How should I care for my abaya?
Please note: Any abaya with embellishments is handwash only!
To keep your abaya in great condition, hand wash your abaya with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid rubbing or wringing the garment to prevent damaging the material.
If you would prefer to machine wash, place your abaya in a mesh laundry bag and put it in the machine on a delicate, cold wash. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or bleach to prevent fading or tearing.
Leave your abaya to air dry away from direct sunlight. Gently squeeze out any excess water and lay it on a flat surface or clothing rack.
When ironing, turn your abaya inside out and iron the inside on a low heat setting. Place a piece of fabric or a thin towel over the abaya and iron over it to avoid heat damage.
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.
You can compare these measurements to our size guide to find the perfect fit for you.
Are abayas seasonal?
Yes! At Abyan, we provide abayas for every season.
Lightweight materials like Silk, linen, and chiffon provide breathability and comfort during warmer months. For the winter, choose heavier fabrics such as wool blends or thicker crepes.
You can also layer abayas with slip dresses or modest clothing for extra warmth. We also offer lighter shades for spring and summer and deeper hues for autumn and winter.
