Frequently asked
If your question is not here, write to us — a person will reply.
How do I choose a size?
Abaya sizes are given in inches, measured from the shoulder to the hem — a 54 is 54 inches long. Choose by your height rather than your dress size: most people are a 52 up to 5'2", a 54 to 5'5", a 56 to 5'8" and a 58 above that. If you are between two, the longer one usually hangs better.
What is nida, and how is it different from crepe?
Nida is a soft, matte fabric with a little weight to it — it holds its shape and does not cling, which is why most everyday abayas are made from it. Crepe has a finer texture and hangs straighter, so it suits open-front and layered pieces. Both wash well and neither needs ironing if you hang it while damp.
How should I wash my abaya?
Cool machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, inside out, with similar colours. Do not tumble dry — hang it damp and it will drop out on its own. Embellished pieces are best hand washed or put in a mesh bag.
How long will my order take?
We pack and post within one to two working days, and everything goes Royal Mail Tracked. You will get a tracking number by email. Full delivery details.
Is delivery free?

Can I return something?
Yes — you have 14 days from delivery, for unworn items with tags attached. Underscarves and caps cannot come back once opened, for hygiene. Full returns policy.
Is it safe to pay here?
Yes. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe, one of the largest payment processors in the world. Your card details are entered on Stripe's own page and never touch our servers — we only ever see the last four digits.
Do I need an account to order?
No — you can check out as a guest. An account simply keeps your addresses for next time and lets you see your orders in one place.
