Bordeaux Textured Silk Abaya

All Abayas are sized in length, chose your Abaya size by matching your own height and choosing that size number.

the sizes are not how tall the Abayas are, but how tall the person wearing the abaya should be.

52: 150-156cm

54: 157-160cm

56: 162-165cm

58: 167-170cm

60: 172-175cm

Where will my size come up to?

When creating our abayas, we intend for them to reach your ankles, however, you may prefer the abayas to run a little longer if you plan on wearing them with some heels, or shorter if you intend to wear them as a long cardigan. So we recommend you take this into consideration when choosing the right size for you.

Can it be tailored?

Absolutely! The abayas are finished with a simple running stitch hem which makes it easy if you need to turn it up and tailor.

What if I’m an in-between size?

If you happen to be an ‘in-between size’, you can wear the two surrounding abaya sizes. For example, if you are 165, you can either get a 54 or a 56. If you like the abaya to fall a little longer or you want to wear heels with it, we would recommend sizing up.

How do I clean my abaya?

The best way to clean your abaya is to wash it by hand. Hand washing a abaya is recommended, especially for the ones with delicate embroidery or embellishments. Only scrub the parts where necessary.

Follow these steps:

1. Fill a clean bathtub or sink with fresh water and add a mild suitable detergent.

2.Stir the abaya gently in the water and leave it to soak for a few minutes.

3.Squeeze the fabric without rubbing it in order to clean it without damaging it.

4.Rinse your abaya in clean water.

5.Hang the abaya up to dry.

We recommend that you do not leave the Abaya in the sun to avoid damaging its colours and avoid the tumble dryer.

If you do however choose to clean your abaya in the washing machine please keep these points in mind:

Again, because Abayas are delicate clothing, you want to machine wash them in a way that will prevent damage to the fabric.

• Use the delicate cycle, at a low temperature (no more than 30°C) to prevent shrinkage from the heat and avoid the stitching from coming loose.
• Wash inside out to prevent the colour from fading.
• Use a mild detergent.

We strongly recommend only cleaning your Abaya in the washing machine if it has no embroidery etc.
