Why this Abaya with Shrug works

The inner dress and the outer shrug are cut in different tones of the same Nida Matte, which is what makes the layering obvious from across a room. Both layers are the same weight, so they hang together rather than one pulling against the other.

We make this abaya with shrug ourselves rather than buying it in, so the fit, the fabric weight and the finishing are all under our control. That is the difference you feel in the first wash.

Design details

• Silhouette: Contrast tones on each layer, so the two pieces read as two distinct garments
• Fabric: Premium Nida Matte, opaque and non-reflective
• Best for: Eid, functions and evening visits
• Fit: Loose fit, true to size
• Made to order: Yes, stitched after you order
• Price: From Rs 1849

Nida Matte fabric

Every piece in this range is cut from Nida Matte, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a cost one. Nida Matte is a premium-weight polyester crepe with a flat, non-reflective surface. It does not shine under camera flash or tube light, which is the single most common complaint about cheaper abaya fabrics.

It also holds its drape. The fabric falls straight down from the shoulder instead of clinging to the body, and it resists creasing, so it survives a day out or a long journey without needing an iron. It is opaque enough to wear without a slip, which matters in lighter colors where thin fabrics turn transparent in daylight.

Size and length guide

Pick your size from the bust measurement, then pick your length from your height. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one, because this abaya with shrug is designed to fall loose.

For length, take your height as the guide. A 52 inch abaya suits roughly 5 feet 0 inches, 54 inches suits 5 feet 2 inches, 56 inches suits 5 feet 4 inches, 58 inches suits 5 feet 6 inches and 60 inches suits 5 feet 8 inches and above.

Color options

Use the color selector above to see every shade this abaya with shrug is currently made in. Because each piece is stitched after you order, the color list is real availability and not leftover stock.

If the color you want is not listed, message us on WhatsApp. We can usually match a specific shade in Nida Matte on request.

How to style it

The contrast does the work. Match your hijab to the outer shrug and the whole look pulls together instantly.

A quick rule that applies to this abaya with shrug and to most abayas: let one element lead. If the garment carries the detail, keep the hijab, bag and shoes plain. If you want a patterned hijab, choose the plainest piece in your wardrobe to put it with.

Care instructions

Nida Matte is low maintenance, which is most of the reason we use it. Follow these and this abaya with shrug will hold its color and drape for years.

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash with a mild detergent.
• Wash dark and light colors separately for the first two washes.
• Do not bleach and do not use fabric softener on the matte finish.
• Do not wring. Press the water out gently and hang to dry in shade.
• Iron on low heat from the inside out if needed. Nida Matte rarely needs it.

Made to order, shipping and COD

Each piece is made to order in our own unit, which is why you get this range of colors and lengths instead of whatever happened to be in stock. Stitching takes 2 to 4 working days, then dispatch.

We ship across India. Prepaid orders go out fastest, and cash on delivery is available. If you want a custom length, a specific sleeve width, or a color you cannot see listed, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will confirm whether we can make it.

Abaya with Shrug FAQs

Is this abaya with shrug see-through?

No. The Nida Matte used for this abaya with shrug is opaque in every color we offer, including the lighter tones. You do not need to wear a slip underneath it.

How do I choose the right size?

Go by your bust measurement in the size table above, then pick length by your height. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, since this abaya with shrug is meant to fall loose rather than fitted.

Is the shrug layer removable?

No, the shrug is attached at the shoulder yoke. That is intentional. An attached layer never slips backwards or twists the way a separate shrug does, so this abaya with shrug always sits the way it should.

Can I wash this abaya with shrug at home?

Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent, then hang to dry in shade. The matte finish does not need dry cleaning.

How long does delivery take?

This abaya with shrug is made to order, so allow 2 to 4 working days for stitching plus shipping time to your pin code. Cash on delivery is available.
